Pinch is a virtual conferencing platform designed for cross-lingual communication. Real-time voice translation allows you to appear as a native speaker of over 30 languages.
Today we are thrilled to introduce Pinch - a virtual meeting platform with immersive voice translation across 30+ languages.
We started building Pinch for ourselves - over the past three years, we were leading remote international R&D teams across 6 countries. The language barrier was the biggest bottleneck to maximizing our team collaboration and rate of development. After trying all the existing solutions in the market - live caption, google translation, etc - we decided to build a user experience and AI translator designed for this problem specifically.
We know the accuracy/latency tradeoff in translation is crucial to get right. We decided to launch two meeting "modes" on Pinch:
1) AI Interpreter mode -- This mode is for highly accurate, context-aware translations in professional settings. An interpreter will join your meeting, ready to translate whenever needed.
2) Simultaneous mode -- Split-second translation with synchronized lip movements for fast, fluid conversations. As you begin to speak, your voice is translated and the other participant will see and hear you speaking their native language.
We're currently in public beta and available for free. If you give it a try -- drop us a comment! We'd love to know how we're doing in your native language and on our UX in general.
Pinch looks like a game-changer for international collaboration! Real-time voice translation into 30+ languages could significantly reduce communication barriers and make virtual meetings far more efficient. As someone who frequently works with global teams, I'm excited to see how this plays out.
This is such a game-changer for global teams! 🌍 The language barrier can slow down collaboration in ways that translation tools haven’t fully solved, so having a dedicated virtual meeting platform with real-time AI translation is incredibly exciting. Love the flexibility of both AI Interpreter mode for accuracy and Simultaneous mode for speed—this could be a massive productivity boost. Definitely trying this out! Congrats on the launch! 🚀🎉
So cool! Pinch transforms virtual meetings with real-time AI-powered voice translation, making global collaboration seamless and efficient. Congrats on your great work
This voice translation tool would be valuable for my participant interviews across different regions. Being able to speak naturally while participants hear me in their native language could lead to more authentic responses.
@christian_safka I'm yet to try this out, but it looks so impressive. I can already visualize remote companies signing up and giving this a trial. Wish you loads of success Team Pinch.
Wow, this was an amazing experience!
A huge congratulations to both of you! 🔥
Cool. Software that can translate in real time makes communication barrier-free
Thanks @kui_jason for support! Our insight is that having an AI-interpreted online meeting should be as natural as in real world scenario - user experience is super important here. That's also why we want to offer both modes (simultaneous v.s. interpreter) so that people can choose whichever they prefer for their individual use cases. In interpreter mode, you can speak many dialects besides those 30+ languages we support! I personally tested many chinese dialects and it works really well. I wish you would like to try it and let us know if it also works for you! We are going to launch "uploading context-aware database" feature very soon, it should help to handle industry-specific jargon much better than general translations.Thanks @kui_jason for support!

It’s clear that a lot of thought and innovation has gone into making this tool accessible and effective. For anyone who regularly interacts with people from different linguistic backgrounds, Pinch is a must-have solution that simplifies communication and breaks down barriers. Highly recommend giving it a try!
Language barriers often hinder effective communication in global meetings—Pinch addresses this challenge head-on. How does the platform handle industry-specific jargon or technical terms to ensure precise translations without misinterpretation?
The UX appears seamless, unlike the clunky translation plugins I've tried integrating before. As someone who's built similar automation tools, really appreciate the complexity being hidden from users. 👍
What is the difference between it and Zoom? I need to know this because I am more accustomed to using one product.
Congrats! This look amazing! I will try it out on tommorrow's meeting! Is it support on Windows operation system?
Congratulations on the launch, Pinch team! This is a major milestone in overcoming language barriers during virtual meetings. The dual-mode approach is brilliant—offering both precision and real-time smoothness is truly revolutionary. I’m thrilled to see how this innovation will enhance global collaboration and make teamwork more seamless. Wishing you continued success—can’t wait to see what’s next!
Very cool product, finally found such a product. I have always had such a demand, and the efficiency of communication will be greatly improved.🚀💪
Pinch looks really interesting! The real-time voice translation could be a game-changer for international teams and presentations. Finally, a way to truly connect without language barriers. Eager to try this out!
