👋 Hey Product Hunt — I'm the maker of Ora. Simultaneous interpreters — the ones you see behind glass booths at the UN — are some of the most elite professionals in the world. They translate in real time as the speaker is still talking, often juggling three or four languages in a session. It's one of the highest cognitive-load jobs on earth, and one of the most expensive services you can hire. Ora puts one on your Mac. Free. Hit ⌘⇧T, start speaking, and translations stream into a floating caption card as you talk — usually before you've finished the sentence. It's not "transcribe, then translate" — it's a rolling, live interpreter that keeps pace with you. Everything runs on your Mac's Metal GPU via MLX. No cloud. No account. No subscription. After the first model download, the whole thing works on an airplane. Chinese ↔ English ↔ Japanese ↔ Korean ↔ Spanish ↔ French ↔ German and more. Swap source and target from the menu bar. Signed + notarized .dmg, macOS 15+ on Apple Silicon. There's also a Python reference implementation in the repo if you want to see the pipeline. I'll be in the comments all day. Really curious which conversations you'd bring Ora to — travel, meetings, family calls, conference talks. 🙏

Not relying on cloud tools or apis is a smart move. What trade offs did you make between latency vs accuracy when running everything locally on Apple Silicon??
