Great idea but poor translations

I mostly use Gotcha Screen Translator for simplified Chinese to English. I use it many times a day, so the concept is very useful and the app is critical to my day to day. I wish I could give it a higher rating but the translations are absolute garbage and half the time they make no sense. If I take the same screenshot and put it through Google Translate, it comes out perfectly and coherently. I have it in High Accuracy mode, which causes the translations to go very slow. It would be nice if I actually got some high accuracy for the speed tradeoff.

Hi Ethan, we are sorry to hear that. Could you send us some bad translation samples to contact@techtona.co and we will check what exactly is the problem. We actually use advanced models to provide the best translation quality possible. The layout may be the root cause of poor translation that you got. For the speed, we are working on a new backend improvement right now. Thank you again for your patience. Let's improve it together!

Amazing app

I have tried several apps with the same function, but this app is the best.

Interestingly, I can even turn on my camera and use this app to translate words in real life.

Hi, thank you for your review. We will continue improving our product to deliver the best possible service.

Too expensive 799 Rs per month

It is costlier than my eSIM monthly data plan in China, I live in China, being foreigner it is one of the most liked app, but what they ask for is unrealistic price for continuous use, it will not only be used by travelers, there are million of foreigners who work and live in China, you need to have plans at a better price to attract them instead of looking for short term visitor to China

Usage wise does what it is supposed to do

Taobao and Elema help 🤩

Love it for taobao. As an expat trying to buy anything on elema, taobao, etc. it can be challenging with a lot of screenshots. Now it’s easier.

Great Potential if Pricing Improves

The app is good and very convenient to use, but the price is too high. Please add a yearly subscription and make the price lower. I would definitely subscribe if the cost were more reasonable.

L’idée est géniale mais cela reste perfectible

C’est l’app qui manquait ! Mais la traduction est trop imprécise, et c’est trop lent pour traduire l’écran . Pour une app à 9.99/ mois ça ne vaut pas assez le coup.

Bonjour ! Merci beaucoup pour votre retour 🙏 Nous entendons parfaitement vos remarques et comprenons les problèmes que vous avez signalés. 👉 Concernant la précision, nous utilisons déjà des modèles de traduction de pointe, mais parfois le souci peut venir de la reconnaissance du texte ou de la mise en page. Si vous pouviez nous envoyer quelques captures d’écran des cas où cela ne fonctionne pas bien (à l’adresse e-mail de support indiquée dans les Réglages), cela nous aiderait énormément à améliorer l’app. 👉 Concernant la vitesse, nous travaillons activement dessus en ce moment ! Dès la prochaine mise à jour, nous prévoyons de réduire le temps de traduction d’environ 50 % 🚀 Nous apprécions vraiment vos remarques — elles nous aident à progresser. Restez à l’écoute pour la mise à jour, et n’hésitez pas à nous contacter par e-mail 🙌

Expensive

So expensive for something you can do yourself with a screenshot

A Must-Have for Navigating Chinese Apps

Gotcha Screen Translator is a lifesaver for navigating Chinese apps. It overlays instant, accurate translations directly on your screen—no app switching or messy screenshots. The Smart Layout™ makes the text blend naturally, and setup is quick. Perfect for travel or daily use in Chinese digital spaces.

Very nice and meet my expectation

not only works perfectly on translating Chinese apps, but also works for apps in other languages. The built in shortcut is super convenient, once setup, I rarely open the app, just open for adjusting target language. Must have app if u frequently go to other countries.

Solves my problem

There is literally an app or WeChat mini program for everything in China but many of them do not have an English version. Gotcha solves my problem by providing good translation in one click with me staying on the app/page I have open.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! 🙌 That’s exactly why we built Gotcha — to make it easy to use any Chinese or foreign app without switching screens or losing context. We’re glad it’s helping you stay right where you are and still get accurate translations.

Great Screen Translator!

This app is perfect for those who use Chinese apps when traveling to China like me. For example when ordering the food on “Meituan”, I no longer need to take a screenshot of the screen, upload the photo to other translation apps, and then switch back to the food ordering page. It is way more convenient by using the Gotcha app!

Must-have app for traveling in China

Traveling in China for one month, while the experience has been incredible, the language barrier in China is huge. Almost everything in daily life is handled through apps. But most apps offer little to no proper language support. Even when there’s an English version, it’s usually incomplete and doesn’t cover the essential features. Gotcha Screen Translator is a game changer. Instead of switching between apps to translate, Gotcha overlays clean, instant translations right on top of any app. It even works inside mini-programs the ones you always use in restaurants to check menus and place orders. The translation layout is seamless and the translation for menus actually makes sense!!!! I also tried some other apps, but their design and tech feel outdated. No one is as well-tailored for translating Chinese apps as Gotcha. This app clearly stands out. If you’re a foreigner in China, this is the one you absolutely need. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for the amazing feedback! 🙌 We’ve put a lot of effort into handling complex layouts, especially in typical Chinese apps, to deliver the best layout recovery and premium translation quality. We’re glad it’s working well for you and will keep making it even better.

Super Useful for Navigating Chinese Apps!

Many Chinese apps do not support other languages, using apps like Meituan or Taobao was a nightmare—until I found Gotcha Screen Translator. It instantly translates whatever’s on the screen, directly over the app interface. No need to switch apps or copy/paste. It’s accurate, fast, and blends in seamlessly. I’ve used it almost everyday. I also tried some other apps, but the layout and accuracy just cannot compete with Gotcha. Gotcha is hands-down the best Definitely a must-have if you're traveling or living in China!
