CLUSTER OFFLINE-SCREEN-SELECTED · 4 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-06

Offline screen OCR translators

This cluster consists of desktop utilities that capture a selected screen region, recognize text offline, and either copy it to the clipboard or translate it locally without uploading files. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from -- it predates the index or its members are undated. On activity signal, screen-translator leads with 3 stars, while wl-screen-translate and SnapLingo trail at 0 stars.

SEP 2026OCT 2026

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
