Entrepreneurship and innovation are alive and well in Bethesda at a place called TNT Creations. The company has developed a great new iPhone app called Transfire, which automatically translates any text into the language of your choice using Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger or TNT’s own instant messenger.
This new app was created by two Bethesda brothers, Jonathan and Elik Toplosky, to “create a global network that eliminates global barriers,” according to Jonathan. Since launching this application about a year ago, Transfire has picked up 200,000 users and been featured on Entrepreneur Magazine’s list of 100 Brilliant Companies.
TNT’s 12 employees include designers, web developers and software engineers, who the Toploskys hope will help them expand Transfire for use on BlackBerry and Android devices. They plan to have the app integrate with Facebook in the near future and hope to eventually turn Transfire into its own social network site. Jonathan hopes this becomes “a game changer in the social networking world.”
So if you’re traveling to another country for business or pleasure and don’t speak the native language, head to the iPhone app store for Transfire. The IM version is free, and the premium version, Transfire XP, sells for $1.99.
