What is Pinch?

Pinch is a real-time speech translation and AI video dubbing tool developed by an independent research lab backed by Y Combinator. It solves the problem of language barriers in communication by providing seamless, voice-preserving translation for videos, podcasts, and live meetings. Pinch's core capabilities include translating audio into multiple languages while maintaining the original speaker's voice, timing, and conversational nuances such as overlapping speech. It offers solutions for creators dubbing content, teams conducting multilingual meetings, and developers integrating speech translation into their products via API. The tool supports live translation in popular video conferencing platforms like Zoom, Meet, and Teams, and provides SDKs for Node, Python, and browser environments. Pinch fits workflows that require natural-sounding translations in real time or for pre-recorded content, making it ideal for global teams, content creators, and developers.
