Original Summary

Reading a foreign-language book on a phone always went the same way for me: long-press a word, look it up, close the popup, find my place again, lose the thread. So I built TransPeek. You start it once, and a floating window sits over whatever app you're in. It reads the text next to it, then shows each sentence with its translation and highlights rare words. The GIF is The Little Prince in Apple Books. https://reddit.com/link/1wmgjgg/video/cjlhbtks9wqh1/player A few things that were harder than expected: Staying on screen over other apps. iOS has no overlay windows, so it runs in Picture-in-Picture and draws the translation into the PiP view. Not translating itself. The screen capture includes the floating window, so a broadcast extension finds the window's colored border in each frame and leaves that area out of OCR. Keeping it private. OCR with Vision and translation with Apple's Translation framework both run on the device, so no server and no API bill. It works in airplane mode. Deciding which words are rare. I built word-frequency tables for each language and let the reader set their level, since "rare" means something different to everyone. It's a paid app: 3-day trial, then a one-time purchase, no subscription. https://apps.apple.com/app/id6760461773 I'd love feedback, especially from anyone who reads in a second language.   submitted by   /u/Confident-Pay1916 [link]   [comments]
