Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A forthcoming Windows screenshot tool that combines capture, annotation, OCR, translation, and floating image pins in one toolbar.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-22 issue.

For: Windows users reading foreign-language text
Worth noticing: The author says marked-out areas are excluded from OCR and translation; translation can use a local model or a service with your own API key.

Field notes

The site describes a tray-resident workflow that keeps capture, markup, OCR, translation, and pinned-image controls together. It says OCR works offline in 14 languages and that translations can use a local model or an online provider configured with the user's API key. The author credits ScreenTrans as the open-source starting point; the download remains marked as forthcoming.
