A few years ago, right after high school, I decided to try to make a simultaneous translation app for Android as a side project, it took longer than expected (about 2 years) and I had to make a lot of compromises (I had to use Google's API and therefore make users use a developer key because at the time there were no free solutions for speech recognition and translation that had good quality). At the end of university, I decided to pick it up again and finally, using OpenAi's Whisper for speech recognition and Meta's NLLB for translation (with both running locally on the phone), I managed to…

Hey HN! I created Hanasu.ai after my 9-5 job as a side project. Previously I'd used Duolingo to learn Japanese, but failed spectacularly when I actually spoke with my roommate from Tokyo. Now, after OpenAI improved their Realtime audio model in December and reduced pricing, I spent my entire winter break building. So how does it work? Just choose a daily topic and converse with the AI model: (1) Didn't catch a phrase? Double tap to reveal a transcript. (2) Couldn't understand? Double tap for translations powered by Google. (3) Can't recall that intricate Chinese/Japanese character? Just…

Could I get some opinions on my experiential learning language app? When I learned Japanese with new friends, I didn't know how to ask where we were going or where the bathroom was. It was really motivating. As in-country immersion isn't option in most cases, language exchange is next best option. However, in-person language exchange can be expensive or difficult to schedule. So I built ConvoLive to make language practice more engaging for myself. Open Beta on Android and iOS https://convolive.com Technically interesting bits: - Lip-synced avatars using WebGL. - Continuous speech…
