The translator that does more than just translation - powered by OpenAI.
I have developed a Bob plugin that utilizes ChatGPT API to provide global word translation on macOS. However, since not all users have access to macOS to benefit from the plugin, I have created this project!
What began as a Chrome extension has now evolved into a multi-platform desktop app that I am currently developing.
What began as a translation tool has now evolved to include surprisingly effective word polishing and summarization capabilities, accidentally.
- It offers three modes: translation, polishing and summarization.
- Our tool allows for mutual translation, polishing and summarization across 55 different languages.
- Streaming mode is supported!
- It allows users to customize their translation text.
- One-click copying
- Text-to-Speech (TTS)
- Available on all platforms (Windows, macOS, and Linux) for both browsers and Desktop
- Support screenshot translation
- Support for vocabulary books, as well as support for generating memory aids based on the words in the vocabulary books
- Supports both OpenAI and Azure OpenAI Service at the same time
- (required) Apply for an OpenAI API key here or Azure OpenAI Service API Key
- (optional) If you cannot access OpenAI, you can use the OpenAI API Proxy.
