What it does
Most meeting AIs miss when someone says no indirectly. TranscriptAI detects nemawashi — Japanese soft rejections like 「検討させてください」(sounds like "I'll consider it", means no). 16 patterns, confidence scored. Keigo formality register via MeCab. Hindi indirect speech. APPI-compliant PII masking. 22% → 94% accuracy across 5 iterations. English · Hindi · Japanese. Live on HuggingFace.
Upload an audio file or paste a meeting transcript, and the tool automatically creates a concise summary, extracts key points, action items, and decisions. It also detects Japanese soft‑rejection s...

- RTReal-time voice chat with AI, no transcription2024 · demo.tincans.ai · ▲33
Hi HN -- voice chat with AI is very popular these days, especially with YC startups (https://twitter.com/k7agar/status/1769078697661804795). The current approaches all do a cascaded approach, with audio -> transcription -> language model -> text synthesis. This approach is easy to get started with, but requires lots of complexity and has a few glaring limitations. Most notably, transcription is slow, is lossy and any error propagates to the rest of the system, cannot capture emotional affect, is often not robust to code-switching/accents, and more. Instead, what…

I made a language tool that forces you to talk2025 · hanasu.ai · ▲5Hey HN! I created Hanasu.ai after my 9-5 job as a side project. Previously I'd used Duolingo to learn Japanese, but failed spectacularly when I actually spoke with my roommate from Tokyo. Now, after OpenAI improved their Realtime audio model in December and reduced pricing, I spent my entire winter break building. So how does it work? Just choose a daily topic and converse with the AI model: (1) Didn't catch a phrase? Double tap to reveal a transcript. (2) Couldn't understand? Double tap for translations powered by Google. (3) Can't recall that intricate Chinese/Japanese character? Just…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
