Translate Any Text on Screen in Real Time — No Copy-Pasting, No Phone Camera

Playing a Japanese game with no English translation? Watching a video with burned-in subtitles? Reading an app with text locked inside an image? Translumo solves the problem: just select any area on screen and see the translation instantly — no copy-pasting, no switching apps, no phone pointed at your monitor.

Unlike basic screen translators, Translumo combines multiple OCR engines simultaneously and uses a machine learning model to pick the most accurate result. Supports DeepL (recommended for best quality), Google Translate, and Yandex. Works with 30+ languages including Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and all major European languages.

Built specifically for gaming but works anywhere on Windows 10 and 11. Low latency — translation updates as text changes on screen.
