For sixty million years, sperm whales have spoken in clicks arranged like sentences. WHAIL is a wearable listening device — a wristband and earpiece — that decodes those codas in real time and replies in kind.
If we can understand what another species is saying, we can understand what it means to be them.— Project CETI, the Cetacean Translation Initiative
Sperm-whale codas in the CETI corpus
Distinct dialect clans identified in the Caribbean
Range a single click can travel underwater
First contact, in a language not our own
A bone-conducting wristband listens through water and air alike, sampling at 96 kHz to preserve the full cetacean band.
Captured clicks are segmented into codas. A transformer trained on CETI’s corpus maps each coda to a semantic vector.
Vectors decode into natural language in your earpiece — spoken in a voice you choose, with the latency of a heartbeat.
Compose a phrase. WHAIL renders it back into the proper coda dialect and emits it through a low-power transducer at depth.
Founder · Systems
Architects the device end‑to‑end — from hydrophone to neural decoder to ear.
Vice President · Acoustics
Owns the signal chain. Trains the coda models on the CETI corpus.
Engineer · Hardware
Designs the wristband. Makes the silicon listen at depth without drowning.
Field recordings, prototype builds, and dispatches from the open water. Every transmission is logged in real time.
We’re seeding the first 100 WHAIL units in late 2026. Researchers, sailors, and the curious — leave your call sign and we’ll send the signal.
