    Hi everyone, I've been using translation apps for years. I started with Google Translate for Turkish-English, but when I needed it for English-German, I found Google Translate wasn't good enough. Plus, I try to limit my use of Google services. That's when I switched to DeepL as my main translation app. For a long time, I was concerned about using translation apps when writing emails to my doctor or public offices that included personal information.

    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…
