AFKLiveTranslate

Windows OCR translation overlay
Privacy-first • Local translation + optional BYOK

Translate any on‑screen text — instantly.

Draw a region → OCR → a clean translated overlay that keeps the background visible. Built for subtitles, games, apps, and any “uncopyable” text on Windows 10/11.

First run download: AFKLiveTranslate downloads a language pack (one‑time per language). Depending on your connection, this may take several minutes.

Note: the overlay cannot be captured by standard screen recorders — demos must be filmed with a phone.

FAQ

Does it work offline?
Local translation can work offline after the language pack is downloaded. BYOK providers typically require internet.
Why is the on-screen button fixed to the top-right?
In v1.0.0 it’s fixed by design for stability and predictability across apps. It’s small and does not block clicks or hide key UI. You can also start capture from the tray menu.
Why isn’t the overlay visible in screen recording?
The overlay is rendered in a way that typical capture software doesn’t record. For demos, film your screen with a phone.
