CLUSTER SCREEN-TRANSLATOR-DESKTOP · 7 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-24

Desktop screen translation tools

The cluster consists of desktop applications that capture on-screen text (e.g., subtitles) and translate it in real time, with features like live subtitles, speech output, or transparent selection frames. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only one dated entry exists before the index start, and the index began collecting on 2026-08-11. Traction leaders based on activity signal are lingolay (2 stars), ScreenTranslator-releases (1 star), and LensLate (0 stars).

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.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 7 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
