Description
One-click translation of text in images – bridging the gap between you and non-Chinese games. Also supports Gemini chat and Live2D. Introduction MoeTranslate is an Android translation app developed based on the accessibility screenshot feature for Android 11+. Supports two modes: - Local OCR recognition + text translation: Uses ML Kit for local OCR recognition (supported source languages: Chinese, Japanese, English, Korean). The recognized text is then translated using a specific API. - Direct image upload for translation: Uploads the screenshot directly to a specific API for translation. Suitable when the source language is not Chinese, Japanese, English, or Korean. I. Translation Feature Translation is the core function of MoeTranslate. Each of the two modes supports different APIs. In addition, you can customize the API interface for translation. Both modes support custom API interfaces. This means you can set up your preferred translation service on a computer on your local network (e.g., a local Sakura translation model) and use it conveniently on your phone via MoeTranslate. This method requires some programming and networking knowledge. 1. How to Use Detailed instructions will be presented when you first use the app. 2. Built-in API Introduction - Local OCR recognition + text translation: This is the recommended translation method. Supported built-in APIs include: ML Kit Translation: A local AI translation. Can be used offline after the initial model download (~100MB). Combined with local OCR, it enables fully offline translation. Note that due to the small model size, translation quality is low. Suitable for special circumstances. Quality: 1 star NLLB Translation: A local AI translation. Can be used offline after the initial model download (~1GB). Combined with local OCR, it enables fully offline translation. Compared to the former, quality is improved, with support for more target languages. However, limited by mobile computing power, it still lags behind online APIs. Quality: 2 stars Bing Translation: An online translation API. The only online method that requires no pre-configuration of an API Key. It works by simulating browser access to the webpage, relying on page structure and token extraction – a non-standard approach with poor stability. Therefore, availability is not guaranteed. Quality is acceptable, but due to its implementation, it's best for special circumstances. Quality: 4 stars Niu Translation: An online translation API. Requires pre-configuration of an API Key. After registration, you get 200,000 characters of free quota per day, sufficient for average users. API application is simple, and quality is high – an excellent all-round choice. Quality: 5 stars Aggregated AI Translation: An online translation API. Requires pre-configuration of an API Key. Supports AI interfaces compatible with OpenAI specifications, allowing translation using models like ChatGPT, Qwen, DeepSeek. Qwen is recommended as its models currently offer generous free tokens and deliver high-quality translations. Quality: 5 stars Volcano Engine: An online translation API (ByteDance). Requires pre-configuration of an API Key. After registration, you get 2 million characters of free quota per month, sufficient for average users. API application is slightly more complex than Niu Translation. Quality is high. Quality: 4.5 stars Azure AI Translation: An online translation API (Microsoft). Requires pre-configuration of an API Key. This is essentially the API version of Bing Translation. After registration, you get 2 million characters of free quota per month. API application is relatively complex. Quality is acceptable. Quality: 4 stars DeepL Translation: An online translation API. Requires pre-configuration of an API Key. After registration, you get 500,000 characters of free quota per month. API application is complex, requiring a foreign credit card. Quality is good. Quality: 4 stars Baidu Translation: An online translation API. Requires pre-configuration of an API Key. After registration, you get 1 million characters of free quota per month. API application is simple. Quality is average. Quality: 3.5 stars Tencent Cloud: An online translation API. Requires pre-configuration of an API Key. After registration, you get 5 million characters of free quota per month – a very large amount. API application is somewhat complex. Quality is quite average. Quality: 3 stars - Direct image upload for translation: Uploads the screenshot directly to a configured API for translation. Supported built-in APIs include: Baidu Translation: An online translation API. Requires pre-configuration of an API Key. After registration, you get 10,000 free image translation calls per month, sufficient for average users. API application is simple. Quality improvement over text translation lies mainly in OCR accuracy. Quality: 4 stars Tencent Cloud: An online translation API. Requires pre-configuration of an API Key. After registration, you get 10,000 free image translation calls per month. API application is somewhat complex. As Tencent Cloud's image translation only supports single lines, it can cause severe inaccuracies if a sentence spans multiple lines. Quality: 2 stars II. Other Features 1. Live2D Model Viewer Thanks to the Live2D SDK, MoeTranslate supports importing Live2D models, automatically parsing their associated motions and expressions. You can then select specific motions and expressions for playback, allowing you to enjoy Live2D characters anytime, anywhere. 2. Gemini AI Chat Google's Gemini is in public beta and is quite capable. Since the Gemini-1.5 Flash API has a free tier, you can obtain an API key and chat with it in MoeTranslate. Please note that users in mainland China need to enable a VPN to use this feature.
