Translate text from a selected screen area

From a screenshot to readable text

A screenshot can contain instructions, an error message or a menu in another language. The PrintScreen preview recognizes the text on the PC, sends the recognized text to the model selected by the service administrator, and displays the translation inside the selected area. No separate translation window is required.

What the current preview does

• Choose a target language beside the main capture buttons and click 文A to start.
• Read the translation in the selection. Click ↶ on the translation button to return to the original image.
• Copy, save or upload the displayed result using the existing screenshot actions.

What is not available yet

This is a private Windows test, not a feature of the public download or the Android app. The current overlay uses a plain background and does not preserve the original typography, background or placement of individual words. Layout-preserving translation is planned, not released.

Source-language recognition depends on Windows OCR support and installed language packs. Translation quality depends on the selected model and the accuracy of the recognized text; a target-language option is not a guarantee of recognition or translation quality.

Where your data goes

The translation action performs OCR locally and sends recognized text, not the screenshot image, through the PrintScreen server to the selected AI provider. Internet access is required for this step. Uploading a screenshot with the separate upload button sends the displayed image to the screenshot-sharing service.
