Neurooo – DeepL clone using LLMs for translations
Hi HN, We built Neurooo.com, an automatic translation tool like DeepL or Google Translate, but using LLMs with OpenAI and Mistral. We noticed that LLMs were quite good at translating informal or contextual text, and also way cheaper than DeepL or Google Translate when you factor in the cost per character. So we decided to try and build a similar translation interface to see if we can match the leaders in term of ease of use and quality. We're quite happy about it and people around us seem to think that we're even better in many cases (abbreviations, informal emails, business translations,…

In plain words
Neurooo is an automatic translation tool that uses large language models from OpenAI and Mistral instead of traditional machine translation systems.

The service is designed for users who need to translate informal, contextual, or business text, including abbreviations and casual emails, with builders claiming it matches or exceeds established translation services in quality and ease of use.

Translate your text, files and apps into any language, with the help of artificial intelligence (AI)
Relying on generalist artificial intelligence models, it is able to understand your text and its context more naturally in most fields. Neurooo is the ideal European work companion for anyone active in a multilingual environment , including translators! Neurooo properly translates idioms that other services fail to understand. The default engine used by Neurooo (GPT-4o mini) is trained on astronomical amounts of textual data in order to understand and generate natural text in any situation. This knowledge allows Neurooo to come up with very natural-sounding translations, subtly adapted to the context. This kind of finesse could hardly be achieved with an AI model developed solely for…from neurooo.com

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
