Field notes
The page lays out capture, OCR, translation, display, and optional speech as separate stages, with different providers selectable for each. Its examples include sending screenshots to Umi-OCR or LunaTranslator on a PC and connecting to a local model server; it says plain HTTP is restricted to machines on the home network. The described controls include volume-key triggers, text selection, and a floating window that can be locked against touch.
