XanderGlasses II

Available August 2026

The XanderGlasses core experience remains the same: accurate, reliable, and private real-time captions designed to help people follow conversations more easily throughout daily life.

Other smart captioning glasses require a cloud connection to provide accurate captions. Using offline computing, our speech-to-text technology is built into one contained system, so users don’t need to use their smartphone or any cloud connection. 

XanderGlasses are the only completely offline captioning glasses that deliver on high accuracy, up to 97% in quiet rooms, with guaranteed privacy.

Introducing XanderGlasses II

Our upcoming solution builds on the strength of the original, with several major improvements:

  • Lower price: $2,999 USD (previously $4,999 USD)
  • 55% lighter for more comfortable wearing
  • All-day battery life, thanks to swappable rechargeable batteries
  • Translation between languages

Speech processing is now handled by a small companion device (included in the kit), which can be kept in a pocket or glasses case. The device simply needs to remain within 5-10m (15-30ft) of the user during operation.

Still included: wireless microphone system kit, sunglasses clip-on, charging cable & brick.
