What is Pinch?
Pinch is a cutting-edge real-time speech translation and AI video dubbing platform designed to preserve the authenticity of human voice across languages. Unlike traditional translation tools that strip conversations down to mere words, Pinch keeps the original voice, timing, and natural speech patterns, including overlapping dialogue. This makes it ideal for content creators dubbing videos, teams conducting multilingual meetings, and developers building speech-enabled products.
Key features include real-time translation for video, podcasts, and audio into 10 languages while maintaining the speaker's voice. For live meetings, Pinch integrates seamlessly with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams, providing a built-in interpreter that runs locally—no meeting bots or extra invites required. Users can invite anyone to speak their language and hear the translation in real time, making cross-language collaboration feel natural.
Pinch offers a free tier with $5 in credits to get started. For developers, a single API handles dubbing, real-time interpretation, and voice-preserving translation. Stream audio in and receive translated audio out, with SDKs available for Node, Python, and the browser. This makes it easy to integrate speech translation into any application.
Use cases are diverse: YouTubers can dub videos without losing their vocal identity; global teams can hold meetings where each participant hears their preferred language; and developers can add real-time translation to apps like customer support or language learning tools.
Technically, Pinch is powered by proprietary speech models developed by an independent research lab. The system processes audio locally for low latency and privacy, ensuring that conversations remain secure. The company is based in San Francisco, New York, Valencia, Tallinn, and Tartu.
Pricing is usage-based with a free trial. Start with $5 in free credits and scale as needed. Whether you're translating a single video or shipping translation inside a product, Pinch adapts to your needs.
