You read the docs and keep stumbling

One sentence in five you have to reread. Not because the English is hard — because it is the fifth hour of it.

Screencast: documentation in a browser, the cursor on a sentence, the translation beside it

To be shot. Until then this frame marks the spot and its size.

What it looks like

1Put the cursor on the sentence.
2Press the hotkey.
3Read the translation where you already are — nothing copied, nothing switched to.

What you get

21 languagesNot only English into your own: pairs are made from these twenty-one, and they work both ways.

Any appDocumentation in a browser, an email from a client, an error in the terminal, a PDF, a comment in a pull request.

Nothing is copiedNo clipboard, no second window, no losing your place in the text.

Next to what you use now

Both do this well — and both send the selected text to a server.

DeepLchecked 08.2026Excellent translation; the selected text goes out.

Raycastchecked 08.2026Comfortable to invoke, works through the cloud.

For public documentation nobody cares. For a client email, an internal spec, or a stack trace with your own paths in it, that is a copy of your work on someone else’s machine.

What it costs

Translation under the cursor is a paid feature. Plain dictation stays free forever and needs no account. Everything on this page is opened by the 14-day trial that starts by itself once you sign up.
