About Pot

Pot translates selected text or a screen region using engines you configure, including DeepL, Google, OpenAI-compatible models and local options, and can read results aloud. A plugin system adds further translation, OCR and text-to-speech providers.

Strengths

  • Select-to-translate and screenshot OCR from a single hotkey
  • Pluggable engines, including self-hosted and OpenAI-compatible ones

Limitations

  • Most engines require your own API keys
  • Much of the documentation is in Chinese
