    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…

    1. Click capture text 2. Select an area on screen with text 3. Paste the text anywhere Are there other solutions out there? Yes, the best one that I've found is Text Sniper, it $8 so I decided to learn SwiftUI and release Text Capture for $0.99. This one uses MacOS builtin Vision API under the hood so it should also improve with new macOS releases. Would love to hear your feedback!

    Hey HN, I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called Convoxa. It’s a native iOS transcriber/summarizer. I had two main goals: keep it efficient and keep it private. THE TECH STACK 100% Swift & SwiftUI: No heavy cross-platform wrappers or bloated dependencies. Binary Size: The final build is only 4.8 MB. Transcription: Uses Apple's latest speech APIs for maximum privacy and efficiency. THE CHALLENGE: BYPASSING THE 4K CONTEXT LIMIT The biggest technical hurdle was working with Apple’s foundation models. The default context window is capped at 4096 tokens, which is practically…
