Description
There's a project named Interpreter with the following description and features:
Interpreter
Offline screen translator for Japanese retro games. Captures text from any window, performs OCR, translates to English, and displays subtitles in a floating overlay.
Features
- Fully offline - No cloud APIs, no internet required after setup
- Free - No API costs or subscriptions
- Private - Text never leaves your machine
- Optimized for retro games - Uses MeikiOCR, trained specifically on Japanese game text
- Two overlay modes - Banner (subtitle bar) or inplace (text over game)
- Translation caching - Fuzzy matching avoids re-translating similar text
- Multi-display support - Overlay appears on the same display as the game
My feature request is an offline mode of the AI Service integrated with Interpreter or a similar "method" that's portable and offline.
