Screen Translator

Introduction

This software allows you to translate any text on screen. Basically it is a combination of screen capture, OCR and translation tools.

Installation

Windows: download archive from github releases page, extract it and run .exe file.

If the app fails to start with missing dll's error then install vs_redist*.exe from the release archive. If you have any update errors related to SSL/TLS you should also install or repair vcredist 2010 (from the Microsoft website).

Linux: download .AppImage file from github releases, make executable (chmod +x <file>) and run it.

OS X: currently not supported.

Setup

Start the app, open the updates page of the settings window and install required recognition languages, translators and, optionally, hunspell dictionaries.

After languages/translators installation set default recognition and translation languages, enable some (or all) translators and the translate text setting if needed.

Usage

  1. Run program (note that it doesn't have main window).
  2. Press capture hotkey.
  3. Select region on screen. Customize it if needed.
  4. Get translation of recognized text.
  5. Check for updates if something is not working.
