Hi Product Hunt! I built HandyXlate because translating text while reading on Android was too disruptive: copy the text, leave the app, open a translator, and then try to find my place again. HandyXlate keeps the workflow on the current screen. Tap a floating bubble to capture one frame, run OCR on-device, and place translated blocks over the original content. It is intentionally single-shot rather than always-on, so you choose exactly when to translate. I paid particular attention to manga, where vertical reading order and text grouping matter. It also includes word lookup, pronunciation, and a personal wordbook. Screenshots stay on the device; only recognized text is sent for translation. I’d love your feedback: where would this save you the most time—manga, social apps, websites, or paused videos? What part of the workflow should I improve next? Thanks for taking a look!
