Hello everyone, today I recommend a powerful and easy-to-use OCR translation software for Windows, LunaTranslator!
Don't be fooled by the simple design of the page, its functionality is just as good as Bob on Mac.
Let's follow the settings and learn more about it.
Text Input#
Clipboard OCR and TXT are the most common ways to import text.
Clipboard allows you to copy the text content, OCR is for screenshot recognition, and TXT is for directly importing text in TXT format. Here we choose the most convenient OCR.
Then you can configure it below according to your selection. For example, you can choose the default local OCR service, or import your own OCR key from other platforms for better recognition results. You can leave the rest of the settings as default if you don't understand them.
Translation Configuration#
The translation settings are awesome, you can customize the number of words to translate and the request interval. It also supports multiple types of translation engines.
If you don't have an account, you can choose these free online translation engines. If you have an account, you can import API keys on your own. There are also offline translation and pre-translation options. Feel free to explore what interests you.
Let's take a simple example. We check the QQ translation in the online translation section, which means it is enabled. The paintbrush icon represents the color of the translated text, making it easy for you to distinguish which translation engine the result is from. For the online translation registration, we choose ChatGPT, the default color is blue, and then we set our own API key in the gear icon, leaving the rest as default.
This way, we can see the translation results in two different colors for the text recognized by OCR. The ignorance here is due to a network issue, so the ChatGPT translation cannot be seen temporarily.
So Many Features#
In addition, the selection box we just used for recognition can always be present, so we can do real-time translation while reading. If needed, we can also have the translated content read out loud.
It also supports manual and automatic translation, viewing translation history, and various other customizable settings.
Anyway, I really like this kind of tool. Especially when dealing with friends who like to send pictures, you just need to take a screenshot and extract the text content from it. Very convenient.
