About this app
Light Screen Translator is a lightweight macOS utility for instant on-screen text translation. Take a screenshot of any text, get automatic OCR recognition, and see the translation in seconds — all without switching windows or losing focus. The app can recognize and translate or copy text from almost any visual source — including: • non-selectable PDF documents, • screenshots or photos of text, • images received in messengers or emails, • interface elements of apps and websites, • subtitles, comics, or scanned pages. The app officially supports direct translation between the most common languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Russian, Czech, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Dutch, Ukrainian, and Kazakh. It can also translate from most printed or digital texts, except for complex handwritten or hieroglyphic scripts. Perfect for translators, developers, and readers who often work with multilingual text — including comics, visual novels, technical documents, or websites. Key features: • OCR recognition and translation in one click, • Quick shortcuts for instant capture and translation, • No distractions — pure productivity.
