History

Ten years, and what each one produced.

A platform built and taken to market, a patent granted, and a company that narrowed toward research.

2016 – 2024

The platform years.

Before it was a research company, RealComm Global built and took a product to market. That is where the research came from.

The company was built on WebRTC. Real-time translation with sentiment analysis was part of it from the first release, not a feature added later. It ran as a full multilingual communications platform: voice and video conferencing with live translation and sentiment analysis, delivered across browsers, iOS and Android, with up to twenty-five secondary languages and an API and SDKs for integration.

Mary Lee Weir conceived and architected the system. Contract engineers assisted with implementation, and research collaborators provided the earliest language and sentiment resources. The distinguishing contribution was the architecture itself: a framework that allowed translation to carry emotional context rather than lose it. This work resulted in U.S. Patent No. 11,587,561 B2, issued to Mary Lee Weir.

The commercial platform completed its role in the research program. The company now focuses exclusively on advancing voice technology through research, intellectual property, and scientific collaboration.
