AIM Studio — Universal Translator

Soutuk maps how a language actually works, not just what it sounds like.

A real-time translator grounded in linguistic typology data — not a language model guessing sentence-by-sentence. Every translation is checked against real grammar, hazard, and safety data for that specific language pair.

spoken (Spanish)
"¿Dónde está el hospital? Mi hijo necesita un doctor."

"Where is the hospital? My son needs a doctor."

How it actually works

Grounded, not guessed.

Most translation apps ask a language model to just produce an answer. Soutuk gives that model real reference material first.

DOT-grounded translation

Every language pair is backed by real per-language grammar cards — word order, case systems, phoneme hazards, honorific and evidentiality rules — sourced from linguistic typology research (WALS), not just what a model happened to learn during training.

Safety gating

High-stakes medical and legal terms are flagged automatically. Silent mistranslation in those domains isn't treated as an acceptable risk — the app surfaces uncertainty instead of hiding it.

Dual-isolate arbitration

For ancient and low-resource languages where a single model is unreliable, two independent translation attempts are cross-checked against each other before you see an answer.

Conversation Mode

A real two-person interpreter flow: introduce yourself, and Soutuk identifies the other person's language automatically — no manual picker required for them.

Language coverage

Real coverage, honestly counted.

1216 languages with grammar scaffolding

Soutuk builds a structured grammar profile — word order, case systems, phoneme hazards, honorific rules — for each language from real typology research (WALS), before any translation happens. This scaffolding is generated by a machine-learning research pipeline, not hand-curated by linguists. A language only appears in Soutuk once it has real scaffolding behind it — not a generic fallback dressed up as support. Coverage grows from an ongoing research pipeline, not a one-time dataset.

Unregistered / unsigned build Neither build is code-signed by a recognized publisher yet, so Windows SmartScreen or Android may show a warning on first install — that's expected for an early, independently-built release, not a sign something's wrong. Full source is on GitHub if you want to verify what you're running before you trust it.
