ScreenTranslator 3.1.0

ScreenTranslator is a powerful language and translation software developed by indie developer OneMoreGres. This innovative tool allows you to instantly transcribe any text on your screen, making it incredibly convenient for language learners, travelers, and anyone in need of quick translations.

With its combination of screen capture, optical character recognition (OCR) engine, and translation tool, ScreenTranslator is capable of accurately translating text from any opened window. It supports translation for numerous languages, making it a versatile tool for users around the world.

Using ScreenTranslator is prompt and easy. Once you run the program, it will appear in your system tray, ready for use. By using a user-defined hotkey, you can capture your desired screen area and select the specific region you want to translate through simple drag-and-drop functions. The OCR engine, powered by Tesseract, will automatically recognize the text within the highlighted section, and the translation will be displayed instantly.

You have the option to view the transcribed text in a popup window located below the original text or in a notification balloon displayed in your system tray. If you're done viewing or copying the translation, simply click the popup window to close it. In case you accidentally close the window, you can easily access the last translated text using a shortcut key.

To conveniently paste translations in other applications, ScreenTranslator allows you to send them to the clipboard. However, it's important to note that all translations provided by ScreenTranslator come from Google Translate, which can sometimes be inaccurate. Additionally, the tool can only translate from English to other languages, as the Tesseract engine solely supports English as the source text.

While ScreenTranslator excels at providing instant translations, its reliance on Google Translate as the main source may raise concerns about the accuracy of the translations. It would be beneficial for the developer to consider incorporating more reliable and precise translation sources in future updates.

Overall, ScreenTranslator is a handy tool for quickly transcribing and translating text from any screen. Its ease of use and support for multiple languages make it a valuable asset for language enthusiasts and individuals in need of on-the-spot translations.
