Live OCR Translate Overlay Live screen translator for Windows
Translate text on your Windows screen live. Select an area and read translations over games, manga, videos and documents.
Live OCR Translate Overlay reads the text inside a screen area you select and shows the translation right on top of it. It works where you cannot copy text, such as game dialogue, manga and comics, video subtitles, images, PDFs and app interfaces.
Instead of switching to a separate translator, you keep reading in the same window and the translation stays in context.
