Overtext

You know that moment when there's a chunk of text on screen - a code snippet, a sign in another language, a quote from a slide - and you want to grab it, but pause-and-retype is the only option? Overtext fixes that! Click the Overtext button (or Alt+S) and the current frame gets a selectable text layer laid right on top. Drag across it like you would on any web page. Copy it, or translate it into your language with one click. It works on whatever you watch: YouTube, Vimeo, embedded players, even videos tucked inside iframes, and you don't need an account to start using it. OCR is free with no monthly cap or sign-up wall. Sign in only when you want to translate, and you'll get free credits to try it out. A few things that make it stand out: - Apple Vision OCR, so text comes out clean even when it's rotated, angled, or stylized - Google Gemini for translation, which handles whole-frame context instead of fragment-by-fragment - 30 source languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Cyrillic and Latin scripts, and more) translating into 18 target languages - Glossary for words that should always come through verbatim: names, jargon, technical terms, game vocabulary you don't want softened into something generic - Native browser selection: copy works exactly the way you expect, multi-line and all Good for: - Following foreign-language tutorials, lectures, and walkthroughs - Translating annotated gaming guides and hobbyist videos - Pulling code, commands, or error messages out of screencasts - Quoting onscreen captions without scrubbing frame by frame On privacy: we don't store video frames or OCR results after we hand them back to you. Translation runs through Google Gemini. On pricing: OCR is free, with no account required up to a daily limit. Sign in with Google to get unlimited free OCR and 25 free translations, then we offer pay-as-you-go credit packs - buy more only if you want more.
