ScreenTranslate lets you translate any text on your Mac screen without switching tabs or copy-pasting.
Two ways to translate:
- Screen Capture Translation — Press Cmd+Shift+T, drag over any text on screen, and get an instant translation popup. Works with images, Pdfs, subtitles, and anything visible on screen using Ocr (Apple Vision).
- Text Selection Translation — Select text in any app and press Cmd+Option+Z to translate directly. No Ocr needed — works in browsers, editors, documents, and more.
