It empowers users to interact more confidently across linguistic boundaries.

App Features

Screen Capture Translation: Instantly translate text directly from your device’s active screen. This feature is invaluable for deciphering foreign-language apps, websites, or pop-ups without switching contexts, letting you proceed seamlessly with your tasks.
Photo Text Extraction: Upload any image containing text for precise extraction and translation. The AI engine intelligently identifies readable text even from low-quality or partially obstructed images, making it useful for documents, books, or signs in photos.
Multi-Directional Translation Engine: Translate not just from English to other languages, but between virtually any combination of supported languages. This bidirectional capability ensures you’re not limited to source-target pairs, facilitating complex communication scenarios.
Contextual Adaptation: Our smart translation system adjusts language registers based on content context—formal documents, casual conversations, technical specifications. It automatically detects whether text is instructional, promotional, or conversational for more natural results.
Custom Dictionary Integration: Seamlessly incorporate user-defined terms, brand names, or specialized vocabulary to improve accuracy on repeated content. This flexibility is crucial for technical translations, academic papers, or industry-specific terminology.
Batch Processing Support: Efficiently translate multiple screenshots or photos simultaneously, with clear status indicators for each file. Save processing time when dealing with multiple documents or screens during research or travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I translate text from protected web pages directly without taking a screenshot?
A: No direct translation from protected sites is possible without capturing the visible screen. However, the Screen and Photo Translator can effectively translate content from most accessible web pages by taking screenshots, including login interfaces and restricted areas.

Q: Are there any character limits for translations?
A: Basic translations support up to 4,000 characters per extraction (across both text and images). Premium subscriptions remove these limits and offer priority processing for larger documents, making it ideal for extensive multilingual projects.

Q: Is the translation quality reliable for handwritten text?
A: The current version is optimized for printed text with clear lettering. While some handwriting recognition is possible, accuracy drops significantly for highly stylized or faded handwriting—a common limitation across most OCR tools rather than specific to the Screen and Photo Translator.

Q: How does the app handle specialized or technical terminology?
A: Technical terms are generally well-translated thanks to our extensive database, but accuracy depends on context. For field-specific translations, we recommend using the Custom Dictionary feature to define terminology relevant to your profession.

Q: Can I use the app to translate text from foreign-language menus in restaurant photos?
A: Absolutely! The Screen and Photo Translator excels at translating content from images. For restaurant photos, simply upload the image containing the menu, and the app will extract and translate all visible text, helping you make informed food choices while traveling.
