Tutorial on How To Install and Setup
For User
-
Download the latest release of this program
-
Install tesseract, make sure to select install all language pack when prompted
-
Open the ScreenTranslate.exe
-
Check settings, make sure tesseract location is correct
-
Set monitor scaling to 100% so that image is captured accurately (If scaling is not set to 100% you will need to set offset in setting) (Recommended)
-
Set offset if on multiple monitors. (Optional)
-
Try capturing image and see if it works or not, if it doesn't, go check the image captured in img_cache folder. If it still doesn't work, try to change the offset.
-
Now that you have set everything, the app should be ready. Feel free to submit new issue on the github repository if you encounter any bugs.
For Dev
-
Clone the repo or download the source code of the latest release
-
Install tesseract, make sure select install all language pack when prompted
-
Install all the dependencies used for the project
-
Run and test the source code

If everything works, you can run the app normally running the ScreenTranslate.py file or using the TempRun.bat
if everything works and you have a suggestion or improvement, you can submit a pull request on the github repository. I will check if it's a good idea to add it.

Disclaimer
This is a free open source software, you can use it for any purpose. However, I am not responsible for any damage caused by this software. Use it at your own risk. (Not that it will do anything to you, it's just a tool to help you translate text lol)
This is also non profit, I gain no money from creating this.
I darkened the "Text Capture Area" and used "Capture Area Settings" to translate and got the exact same result as the picture above.
This dialogue with black border translates very accuratel
y
or the dark scene, the translation is also very accurat
e
but the light scene cannot be translated.
Can you solve this problem?
Why does the software not work when the scene is bright?
