Type Switch▲132Hi Ycombinator community, I’d like to share a project I recently launched: Type Switch, a macOS app designed to make language switching seamless and intuitive for multilingual users.

With macOS 26, Apple recently added two new APIs, SpeechAnalyzer and SpeechTranscriber, that do streaming on-device speech to text using models the OS ships and manages. So the app ships no model of its own and loads nothing before the first…
