BBIX and Miraicom Launch AI Phone Interpretation Service TeleHonyaku
TeleHonyaku puts simultaneous interpretation on an ordinary phone call with no app or device, so the product's reach depends on the carrier-grade voice infrastructure BBIX already operates rather than on users installing anything.
Reporting from 1 source: ASCII.jp.
BBIX and Miraicom began a collaboration in September 2026 to run Miraicom's AI telephone simultaneous interpretation service TeleHonyaku on BBIX's voice service platform. Service starts September 11, 2026. TeleHonyaku supports bidirectional interpretation in 90 or more languages and international calls to 230 or more countries and regions. Users call the access number 0067-29111 from a mobile phone, with no registration and no dedicated device or app.
TeleHonyaku launched in May 2025 and is dialed rather than installed: a caller reaches the access number 0067-29111 from a mobile phone, follows the guidance, and picks the language for the other party. Call charges apply.
The September 2026 collaboration places Miraicom's AI functions on BBIX's voice service platform. BBIX is a SoftBank Corp. subsidiary in the internet exchange business, and Miraicom, based in Sakura City, Chiba Prefecture, develops communication solutions including eSIM and SIM services. BBIX states the two companies will keep developing new solutions that combine AI and voice communications.
