Put the floating frame over any text on your Mac and click Translate. The translation appears right beside the words, whether they came from a website, a PDF, a game or a screenshot somebody sent you.
US$1.99 · one-time purchase · macOS
Drag the frame over the paragraph you are stuck on, resize it to fit, and click Translate. The result appears next to the original so you can read them together.
No selecting, no copying, no switching to a browser tab and back again.
Translate This reads what is on screen with on-device text recognition, so it does not care whether the text is real text. Posters, screenshots, scanned pages, subtitles and app interfaces all work the same way.
Websites, PDFs, documents, images, dialog boxes, games. If your screen is showing it, the frame can read it.
Everything runs on your Mac, which is why it is quick and why there is no counter ticking down. Translate one line or a whole afternoon of them.
Keep the window floating above your other apps and it is there the moment you need it.
Translate between any of these using Apple's on-device translation, and swap source and target with a single click.
Text recognition and translation both happen on your Mac using Apple's built-in technologies. The content inside the frame is never sent to us or to anyone else, and we have no way to see it.
No analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no account to create in the first place.
Anything your screen is showing: websites, PDFs, documents, images and screenshots, app interfaces and dialog boxes, games, and video subtitles. Because it reads the pixels rather than the text underneath, it works in places where you cannot select or copy anything.
No. Text recognition and translation both happen on your Mac using Apple's built-in on-device technologies. Nothing inside the frame is sent to us or to any third party, and there is no account, no analytics and no tracking.
