Snap Screen Translator vs PollyTap

Snap Screen Translator helps you translate screenshots without slowing down your screen workflow. Capture a screenshot from a quick iPhone trigger, choose your output language, and Snap returns a translated preview with the text placed back over the original image. It is built for menus, signs, chats, emails, instructions, app screens, travel moments, study material, and anything else that arrives as an image. Why Snap? - Choose your app language when you get started - Guided setup with a video tutorial and subtitles in 12 languages - Recommended AssistiveTouch Single-Tap setup with Shortcuts - Also supports Back Tap or Action Button on compatible iPhones - On-device text recognition - Offline language model translation after required models are downloaded - Layout-aware translated overlays - Automatic source-language detection - 59 output languages - No account required - Free screenshot translation with occasional ads; optional Supporter subscriptions remove ads and support development. Private by design Snap is designed around on-device processing. Screenshots and translated text are intended to stay on your device unless you choose to share an output image or contact support. Made for real screenshot translation Instead of giving you a loose block of copied text, Snap keeps the translation close to the original layout so the result remains easy to scan.

Read foreign-language text in screenshots with PollyTap. Capture a menu, message, sign, or web page, then view its translation over the original image. Compare the original, zoom into small print, or open the recognized and translated text in a readable list. A SHORTCUT FOR YOUR SCREEN The Setup tab helps you add the supplied shortcut, which takes a screenshot and sends it to PollyTap. Assign it to the Action Button on a compatible iPhone, use Back Tap, or run it from Shortcuts. You can also choose an existing screenshot inside the app. READ, COMPARE, AND RESCAN • Automatically detect the source language or choose it yourself. • Choose the language you want to read. • View translated text in place on the screenshot. • Compare the result with the original image. • Zoom and Rescan for a closer reading of a difficult area. • Use Full text to read or copy the recognized and translated text. • Download supported language resources ahead of time for offline translation. • Use menus and instructions in 23 app languages. FREE WITH ADS Screenshot translation and rescans are free. There is no account, trial, subscription, purchase, or daily rescan limit. Banners and occasional interstitial ads support the app. A missing ad does not prevent translation. APPLE TRANSLATION ON YOUR IPHONE Text recognition uses Apple Vision, and translation uses Apple’s Translation framework. Recognition and translation take place on your iPhone. Compatible devices can use Apple’s high-fidelity translation strategy, with traditional Apple translation available on supported devices without Apple Intelligence. PollyTap requires iOS 26 or later. Available translation languages depend on Apple’s software and your device. Initial language downloads require internet access. Ads use internet access and are subject to privacy and tracking choices. A translated screenshot is a still image: return to the original app to scroll or interact. Recognition and translation can make mistakes, particularly with small, decorative, or mixed-script text. Compare the original and use Rescan when needed.
