    Hey HN! I wanted to share this OSS project I've been working on. It's called Yap and its a small menu-bar app for macOS that does voice to text for any input. You'll set a hotkey, press it, talk, press it again, and the text gets pasted into whatever field you were in. Everything runs locally and never leaves your computer. Fully OSS and MIT licensed. 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…

    Hey HN! I’m Christian, daily lurker and some might remember our original launch post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42935355). Today we're launching Pinch for Mac, which we believe is a step-change improvement in real-time AI translation. Our vision is to make cross-lingual conversations feel as natural as regular conversations. TL:DR During an online meeting, the app instantly transcribes and translates all audio you hear, and allows you to decide when you translate your voice and when you don't. It's invisible to others (like Granola), and works everywhere without any…

    I built a menu bar app for voice typing on macOS that's 100% on-device. No cloud, no subscription, no data collection. It uses Apple's new SpeechAnalyzer framework (macOS 26 Tahoe), which means: - Speech models are system-managed, not bundled – the app is just 1.5MB - Models run outside your app's memory space - Automatic punctuation and optional emoji conversion Press a hotkey, speak, and your words appear in real-time in whatever app has focus. An audio-reactive screen border shows you're recording. MIT licensed: https://github.com/leftouterjoins/voicewrite I built this…
