Translate text on your screenBeta
Looking at a page in a language you don't read? Press Left ⌥ + Left ⌘ and ask Speechy's Agent “what does this say?”. It puts a translation by each heading, line or paragraph in small caption pills right on your Mac screen, and they move with the page as you scroll.
How to use Translate text on your screen
Open the page
A menu, a site, a document, any text on your screen.
Ask what it says
Press the Agent key and ask.
Read it in place
Each line gets its translation beside it. Prices and names stay as they are.
What you ask, what shows up
Safari
You ask
“What does this menu say? I don't speak Italian.”
On your screen
A short “Here it is in English.” and a translation beside every dish, prices left alone.
Safari
You ask
“Read them to me”
On your screen
It reads the translations out loud too.
Questions
Only if you ask. Otherwise it says one short line and the translations stay on screen.
Yes. Each one is pinned to the text it translates and moves with the page.
Press ⌘ Esc. Asking for a new translation replaces the last set.
