BelliedMonkey Translator vs Loupe

Meetings, videos, documents — translated as you listen, processed only on your device; the sentences you actually read come back as review cards. LIVE SUBTITLES (APP) Bilingual subtitles for whatever your device is playing. On Mac, the app listens to system audio and shows a floating subtitle bar that stays on top of any app, even full-screen video (macOS 26 or later). On iPhone, play a video or podcast out loud in any app, and a picture-in-picture window scrolls the original and the translation, sentence by sentence. Recognition happens on the device; Live Subtitles need iOS 26 / macOS 26. CONVERSATION · LIVE INTERPRETER (APP) Talk across a language gap. Both sides speak freely; each sentence is transcribed, translated and can be read aloud. Speech is recognised on the device, so the audio never leaves it. Requires iOS 26 / macOS 26. SYSTEM TRANSLATION (IPHONE) Select text in any app and tap Translate — BelliedMonkey answers with the engine you configured, in a small sheet, without leaving the app. Choose BelliedMonkey once in Settings › Apps › Translate › Default Translate App. Sentences you translate this way can go straight into your review deck. Requires iOS 18.4 or later. WEB PAGES, SIDE BY SIDE The Safari extension (also on Chrome and Firefox) keeps every paragraph's original text with the translation right below it. No switching tabs, no losing your place. VIDEO DUAL SUBTITLES YouTube, podcasts and web video get sentence-matched dual subtitles. No captions? Turn on AI transcript subtitles. DOCUMENT TRANSLATION Open a PDF, Word file or image and read it page by page, original and translation side by side. LEARN AS YOU READ Sentences you actually read can become review cards on a forgetting curve — read, listen and write practice, sentence notes and read-aloud. Optional sync lets your phone review what you read on your computer. YOUR ENGINE, YOUR CHOICE Bring your own AI service key, or any compatible endpoint. PRIVACY, SPELLED OUT Your keys and settings stay on your device. With your own key, text goes straight to the provider you chose and is not stored. Live Subtitles and on-device transcription never record audio. We send anonymous usage events (which features are used, never page content), and you can turn them off in Settings. No ads. The whole app is open source and free to download.

Live subtitles for videos and conversations, and live translation for any app on your screen. No coins, no ads: free minutes every day, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Speech captions turn what's said in videos, live streams, online classes and podcasts, or by the people around you, into subtitles in your language. Screen translation shows the text of any app translated right where it is. NEW IN THIS VERSION • Translate Selection: make Loupe your default translation app, then select text in any app and tap Translate. Listen, pick out words, copy or replace it. Unlimited, even on Free. • Clipboard Only in Live (iPhone): no screen recording. Copy text in any app to see it with its translation in Picture in Picture. SPEECH CAPTIONS • Switch to Voice at the top of Home and choose an Audio Source. Phone Audio captions what other apps play: pick the spoken language, tap Start Captions and go back to your video. It doesn't use the microphone or read the screen, so room noise stays out. • Nearby Speech uses the microphone to caption the people around you: conversations, talks, guided tours. No screen sharing needed. Tap Start Listening for large live captions; switch apps and they keep going in Picture in Picture. • Pick the window's shape, one of five text sizes and three colors; show the translation, both lines, or the original only. • Change the spoken language mid-session. Transcripts are saved on your device to review, copy or export as TXT, SRT or Markdown. SCREEN TRANSLATION 1. Download a language pack once. Loupe detects the language on screen. 2. Tap Start Loupe, then Start Sharing. 3. Switch to any app, landscape games on iPhone included. A Picture in Picture window shows that part of the screen, translated in place. Five reading scopes: Near the window, Whole screen, Fixed area (a region you mark, like a game's dialogue box), LAN Live (the translated screen in a browser on another device on the same Wi-Fi), and Clipboard Only (iPhone). Flash Translate: use the Action Button, Back Tap or Control Center in any app and the whole screen is translated; tap a word to look it up. SCREEN SUBTITLES (LOUPE PRO) Instead of in place, screen translations can appear as numbered large-type cards in the original's colors, with the source text alongside, a corner guide to where each line is on screen, and right-to-left order for manga. ON IPAD With Windowed Apps or Stage Manager, the Loupe window itself becomes the lens: put it beside the app or video. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • On your device by default. A translation service you connect (DeepSeek, Claude, DeepL and more, with a glossary and story background) gets only the recognized text (or audio for Speech), straight from your device. • Your screen and audio are never sent to us or saved. • LAN Live, only when you choose it, sends the translation just to devices on your local network that open your link. • No account, no tracking. Works offline once languages are downloaded. LANGUAGES Loupe comes in 14 languages. It translates from Japanese, Korean, Chinese, English and other languages supported by Apple's translation. FREE AND LOUPE PRO • Free: screen translation and speech captions share 5 minutes a day, plus Flash 5 times a day; 1 custom endpoint. • Loupe Pro: no time limit, unlimited Flash, Screen Subtitles, preset and multiple services. Monthly, yearly or lifetime. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. GOOD TO KNOW • Language packs come from Apple, about 140–440 MB each. Loupe asks before any download. • Content an app protects from screen recording can't be read, and some apps mute their audio while the screen is shared.
