Translation

Show what was on the picture

In the app the translation is laid over the picture and over the screen itself — inside a game, inside someone else's software, on a site with no English version.

Get the app
198 translation languages, translation over the screen and the phone camera — all in the app. Android version

Two ways — on the computer and on the phone

Screen translator

Select an area in a game, an app or a web page. The text is recognised and the translation appears over the capture — no need to switch to a browser.

Photo translation

Photograph a menu, a sign, a manual or a document — the translation lands right on the image. The result can be read aloud, copied or saved.

Document translation

DOCX, XLSX, PPTX and EPUB are translated in full, keeping the layout, tables and formatting.

When it saves the day

Games without a translation

Quests, dialogue, interface. Select the area, read it in your language, never leave the game.

Professional software

Engineering and production suites where the menus exist only in Japanese, Chinese or German.

Travel

A café menu, a timetable, road signs, the leaflet inside a medicine box. Downloaded dictionaries work with no connection and no roaming.

What it looks like

A photographed menu board with the translation drawn over each sign, and an Original / Translation switch below
The translation is drawn over the original words instead of being listed underneath, so the layout survives. One tap on Original brings the untouched photo back; Speak reads the result out loud, and Save keeps the translated image.
