Language Lens information
What is Language Lens?
The privacy-first screen translator. Break down language barriers instantly—without compromising your data.
Language Lens is a powerful new desktop utility designed to translate text directly where it sits on your screen. Unlike traditional web translators that require you to copy-paste text or upload screenshots to the cloud, Language Lens works as a seamless visual overlay.
🌟 Key Capabilities
- Visual Overlay Technology Language Lens operates as a "transparent window" that floats above your other applications.
Drag & Translate: Simply drag the lens over any region of your screen. Dynamic Resizing: Resize the lens to capture a single menu item or a full dialogue box.
- 100% Offline & Private
Local Processing: All Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Translation happen entirely on your computer's local hardware. Zero Data Leakage: Use this tool safely with confidential documents, private chats, or medical records. It works perfectly on air-gapped (offline) computers.
- Smart Scanning Modes
Single Scan: Captures the text once for quick translation—perfect for static menus. Continual Mode: The lens watches the screen and updates automatically—ideal for changing dialogue. Anti-Flicker Technology: The engine intelligently compares frames. If the text hasn't changed, it pauses processing to save CPU power.
- Customization
Dark & Light Modes: Instantly toggle the app theme to match your system. Visual Control: Adjust text size, font color, and background opacity to ensure readability against complex backgrounds.
