TranslateMyCall.com

Hi folks, Alex here with a launch I’m hoping for some feedback on! I recently finished what started as a hackathon-style project with a friend, which has now become TranslateMyCall.com. The problem we set out to solve is that there’s currently no way to interpret phone calls between languages without a human in the loop. Apps like Google Translate work well for in-person conversations, and Skype (surprising, right?) is the best I’ve found for VoIP interpreting. But for traditional phone calls, your only option is paying $1 to $4 per minute for a human interpreter through a service like…

TranslateMyCall.com launched on September 11, 2024 with 5 votes, #2,535 of 5,281 launches that month. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.

What it does

TranslateMyCall.com lets you talk on the phone to people who don't speak the same language as you. It's like having an interpreter on the phone with you, but free!

TranslateMyCall turns any phone call or speakerphone conversation into live two-way translation across 70+ languages. Dial (228) 888-8666. No app required.

Merge us into the call — each side hears their own language. 47 languages are officially supported with full quality; the rest of this list usually works with reduced quality. Languages not on this list may work too, but quality is not guaranteed. Try them out. Add the person you're calling. Tap your phone's merge calls button. No downloads, no onboarding, no accounts. Any phone you can dial from is enough. ThunderPhone Interpreting is the enterprise platform for language service providers: the real-time engine behind TranslateMyCall, behind your brand, on your terms.

    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…

    I built a fast, accurate translation API for 1/30th the price of Google2023 · translateapi.web.app · ▲15

    Hey HN, I built an alternative to Google translate that's fast, accurate, and 1/30th the price. 20+ supported languages, not billed until 100k tokens, and already used thousands of times with real language learning users. The landing page has a demo for you to test performance yourself for free with no card required. (Also landing page says 1/13 the price because had to account for all 3 big names, with varying prices each). I built this as a workaround for my language learning startup, and it was perfect at a fraction of the cost. Hopefully it can help other devs in accessibility…
