Anti-cheat
Built to Stay Out of the Game
The first question most players ask about a game translator is whether it will get them banned. This page explains what anti-cheat systems look for, how Unitra AI was designed to stay outside the game process, and how we test that on every release.

What anti-cheat watches
The Four Things Anti-Cheat Cares About, and Where Unitra AI Stands
Anti-cheat systems such as Riot Vanguard, Easy Anti-Cheat, BattlEye, VAC and Ricochet publish what they act on: code injected into the game process, reads or writes of game memory, vulnerable or unsigned kernel drivers, automated keyboard or mouse input, and modified game files. Overlays and capture tools that do none of those things are the same category as OBS, Discord or Xbox Game Bar.
Unitra AI does none of the four. It is a separate desktop application that reads the audio Windows is already playing, captures a screen area you chose through the normal Windows capture API, and draws its own click-through window on top. It never opens the game process. The game translator guide covers what it translates; this page covers what it does not touch.
No Code in the Game
No DirectX, OpenGL or Vulkan hooks, no injected DLL, no reads or writes of game memory, no changes to game files. The game runs exactly as it would without Unitra AI.
Audio and Pixels, Not Game Data
Voice chat comes from the Windows audio loopback and your microphone. Screen translation captures the pixels of an area you pick, the same path a screenshot or OBS uses.
A Window of Its Own
Subtitles appear in a separate click-through window drawn on top. In exclusive fullscreen the same subtitles show in the free Xbox Game Bar widget, which is part of Windows.
How we test
Checked on Every Release
Design review against public rules.
Every feature is checked against what Vanguard, Easy Anti-Cheat, BattlEye, VAC and Ricochet publicly say they act on. Anything that would need a hook, injection or memory access is not built.
Sessions on protected games.
Each release is run in real sessions on games protected by each of those systems, with voice translation, automatic screen translation, the overlay and Voice Output on.
Daily use since open beta.
Players have used Unitra AI on those games every day since the open beta. No warning, kick or ban caused by Unitra AI has been observed in our testing or reported to us.
Report path.
If a game ever warns you while Unitra AI is running, tell support@unitra.ai with the game and the message. We treat it as a release blocker and publish what we find.

What we do not claim
Honest About the Limits
No anti-cheat vendor or publisher certifies third-party tools, so Unitra AI is not certified or approved by any of them, and no translator can be. What we can say is what the app does and does not do, and what we have seen across releases and daily use. Publishers can change their rules at any time, and a game that explicitly forbids overlays or capture tools should be played without any.
Voice Output adds a Microsoft-signed virtual microphone, a standard Windows audio device like a headset or a virtual cable, installed once with a Windows prompt and removable from Settings. To the game it is just a microphone. Speech recognition runs on your PC; when cloud assist steps in, only speech features are sent, never raw audio.

FAQ
Anti-Cheat Questions, Answered
Will Unitra AI get me banned?
We have not seen or been told of a warning, kick or ban caused by Unitra AI, in our testing on games protected by Vanguard, VAC, Easy Anti-Cheat, BattlEye and Ricochet or in daily use since open beta. Unitra AI never opens the game process: no hooks, no injection, no memory access, no file changes, no automated input. Publishers set their own rules, so follow any game that explicitly forbids overlays or capture tools.
What do anti-cheat systems actually detect?
Publicly, the major systems act on code injected into the game, reads or writes of game memory, vulnerable or unsigned kernel drivers, automated input, and modified game files. Reading desktop audio, capturing part of the screen and drawing a separate window are the same things OBS, Discord and Xbox Game Bar do.
Does screen translation hook the game?
No. Automatic screen translation captures the pixels of a screen area you chose through the normal Windows capture API, the same path screenshots and OBS use. Text recognition runs on your PC and only the recognized text is sent for translation. Nothing is read from the game process.
Is the overlay injected into the game like some overlays?
No. The Unitra AI overlay is a separate click-through window drawn on top of the screen. It is not drawn inside the game, so there is no renderer hook. In exclusive fullscreen the subtitles show in the Unitra Subtitles widget for Xbox Game Bar, which is part of Windows.
Does Voice Output install a driver?
Yes, a Microsoft-signed virtual microphone. It is a standard Windows audio device, the same class as a headset or a virtual audio cable, installed once with a Windows prompt and removable from Settings. The game sees a microphone and nothing else. It is not a kernel-level game hook.
Which games have you tested?
Every release is run on games protected by Riot Vanguard (Valorant, League of Legends), VAC (Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2), Easy Anti-Cheat (Apex Legends, Fortnite, The Finals, Marvel Rivals), BattlEye (PUBG, Rainbow Six Siege, Escape from Tarkov) and Ricochet (Warzone, Modern Warfare III), plus Overwatch 2 and several MMOs and gacha games.
Is Unitra AI certified by Riot, Valve, EA or any anti-cheat vendor?
No, and no translator is. Anti-cheat vendors and publishers do not certify third-party tools. We describe exactly what the app does and does not do, we test every release, and we publish what we find.
What should I do if a game warns me while Unitra AI is running?
Close Unitra AI, follow the game's instructions, and email support@unitra.ai with the game and the exact message. We treat any such report as a release blocker and investigate it with the game in question.
