Meet HackerNoon's Latest Features: Boost Stories with Translations, Speech-to-Text & More

HackerNoon’s monthly product update is here! Get ready for a new version of the mobile app, more translation developments, a new AI Gallery, backend moves, and more! 🚀

This product update reflects changes to the platform from September 24, 2024, until November 25, 2024.

- Boost Your Stories with Story Translations: Now, with support for 77 languages—including Italian, Swedish, Finnish, Somali, Hebrew, and many more—getting your story translated is simpler than ever. Before this update, you’d need to visit app.hackernoon.com/services or your story settings to purchase a translation. While those options are still available, we’ve added a streamlined method to unlock any language in just three clicks 👇

- Navigate HackerNoon in Every Language: Each of our 77 supported languages now has a custom landing page. For example, visit hackernoon.com/lang/es to see a fully localized experience: the search bar, “read” and “write” buttons, top stories, and informational sections for readers, writers, and brands are all translated. Plus, you’ll find an easy list of all available languages—click any one to explore HackerNoon in a different language.

- HackerNoon’s AI Image Gallery Just Got a Makeover: Our revamped AI Image Gallery now lets you explore all AI images ever created on HackerNoon. Here’s how to dive in: use the “Most Recent” and “Oldest” tabs to browse images based on creation date; click the dropdown box on the right of your screen to filter by different AI models, and try out the search function to find images using specific keywords; you’ll see every image generated with that word in the prompt.

- HackerNoon Mobile App 2.03: Speech-to-Text Mode for Instant Documentation:Our mobile app has a new writing feature with its most recent update, great for capturing ideas quickly: the speech-to-text function. Now, talking things out counts as blogging! Start your next post or outline by simply talking to the HackerNoon app. Here’s what that looks like when you talk into the HackerNoon text editor app 👇

- Your Inbox Just Got Better: On September 24th, we introduced our new inbox and direct messaging feature—an upgraded way to connect with HackerNoon editors.
