What it does

Most AI transcription apps send your audio to their servers. AI Scribe gives you full control. Transcribe, translate (EN, IT, FR, ES, PT, DE), and summarize voice messages from any messenger. OCR on images too. Two modes: Cloud: your own Gemini API key, stored on your device. Audio goes to Google, not to me. Local: Gemma 3n on-device via LiteRT. Audio never leaves your phone. No backend. No account. No ads. Free. Built solo with Vibe Coding using Claude and Gemini.

    Made using Google’s Lyria music model — an image → music translator. I’m a designer at Google, doing a self-initiated 30 days with Gemini experiment. This is technically a promo, but honestly just pleased with how this one turned out. I don’t write code — this was entirely vibecoded.

    Hi everyone, I’m a solo developer and I’ve been working on a small tool called Echosnap AI. I built it because I often get ideas while I’m walking or doing something else, and speaking always felt like the fastest way to capture them. Echosnap lets you record a note and instantly get a clean transcript. It can also translate your recordings and help you stay organized with tags and folders. I tried to keep the app as simple and minimal as possible. This is my first time sharing something on HN, so any feedback or suggestions would mean a lot. Thanks for taking a moment to check it out.

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
