Screen Translate lets you translate text from anywhere on your Mac.
Select a region of your screen and view the result in a clean side-by-side window. The app recognizes the source language, translates into your chosen target language, and keeps the workflow fast with menu bar access and configurable global shortcuts.
Features:
• Drag to select any screen region for translation
• Automatic source language detection
• On-device OCR using Apple’s Vision framework
• On-device translation using Apple’s Translation framework
• No internet connection required for translation after required language packs are installed
• Clean side-by-side original and translated text view
• Edit captured text and translate again
• Configurable global hotkeys
• Optional auto-copy to clipboard
• Translation history for up to 20 recent translations
• Menu bar and Dock controls
• Launch at login
Screen Translate only reads screen content when you explicitly start a capture or translate selected text. Captured pixels are processed locally and discarded. Translation history is stored locally on your Mac and can be cleared at any time.
