Game Overlay Translator for PC: Voice Chat, Text and Screen

A game translator turns the language in a game into your own while you play. In practice that means three different things: spoken voice chat from teammates, typed chat and lobby messages, and text drawn on the screen such as menus, quests and subtitles. Unitra AI covers all three in one desktop app. Voice is translated live in an in-game overlay in about one second, screen text such as chat and subtitles can be translated automatically as it changes, and typed text and screenshots are translated on demand in the same window, using models tuned for gaming vocabulary.

Most game translators do only one of the two. Screen translators read text off the pixels and cannot hear anyone, so they are useless in a ranked match. Voice-only tools cannot help with a foreign-language menu. Unitra AI does both: microphone and desktop audio are captured and translated live in about 1 second, and on-screen text is read either automatically from an area you choose, as it changes (Windows, on every plan including Free), or on demand when you snip or paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V.

Unitra AI works with any PC game that has voice chat: FPS, MOBA, MMO, battle royale and party games. It captures system audio and microphone input directly, so no per-game integration is required. It also covers voice apps you run alongside the game, such as Discord.

Unitra AI is built to stay out of the game's way. It does not hook DirectX or OpenGL, does not inject code into the game process, does not read or write game memory, does not modify game files, and does not send keyboard or mouse input to the game. What it does is read audio that Windows is already playing, plus your microphone, draw its own separate window on top, and ask Windows which application is in the foreground so it can tune itself to that game. Screen translation reads the screen through the standard Windows desktop capture interface that screen recorders and streaming apps use, rather than hooking the renderer the way many OCR screen translators do. For the overlay to stay visible, run the game in borderless windowed mode. Every release is tested on games protected by Vanguard, VAC, Easy Anti-Cheat, BattlEye and Ricochet; the anti-cheat page lists them and what we do not claim.

Yes, in two ways. Automatic screen translation reads an area you choose, such as the chat box or the subtitle line, as it changes and shows the translation in the in-game overlay; it is Windows only and on every plan, including Free. On every plan you can also take a snip or paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V, and the text in that image is recognized and translated with the same gaming-tuned models used for voice.

Yes, on Windows. Choose an area of the screen (or a whole screen) once and start translation: text in that area is recognized on your PC as it changes and translated into the same in-game overlay that carries voice translations, without a separate OCR tool running alongside. Pick Screen text for menus, quests, subtitles and dialogue, or Game chat (Beta) for chat lines. Automatic screen translation is on every plan, including Free, where it draws on the same daily allowance as voice and uses it faster; Champion and the Day Pass make it unlimited. It is not available on macOS yet.

No. Speech recognition runs on your device, and your audio is never uploaded, collected, or stored unless you explicitly opt in to share data. Only when your PC is under heavy load does cloud assist move part of that processing, securely, to Unitra's private cloud, using speech features rather than your audio; you can switch it off in Settings for local-only recognition. Only the processing that needs our servers is sent to Unitra, over a secure connection.

Translations typically appear in about 1 second end-to-end, fast enough to keep up with callouts in competitive shooters and MOBAs.

Judge a game translator on four things. Does it handle both voice chat and on-screen text, or only one of them (OCR screen readers cannot hear anyone, voice-only tools cannot read a menu)? Does speech recognition run on your own PC, so your audio is not uploaded? Does it stay out of the game process, with no renderer hooks or code injection that anti-cheat looks for? And do translations appear in a click-through overlay on the game instead of a second window? Unitra AI was built around those four, and it is free to start, so you can check them yourself before paying anything.

Yes. The Unitra AI Free plan includes about 2 hours of live voice chat translation a day (doubled when you opt in to data sharing), typed chat and screenshot translation, and automatic screen translation on Windows, with no credit card. A free 7-day Champion trial can be started inside the app and ends on its own.

A translation mod or fan patch replaces game files, works only for one game and one version, breaks when the game updates, and modifying files in an online game can trigger anti-cheat. A game translator like Unitra AI never touches game files: it reads the text in a screen area you choose and translates it as it changes, for any game and any version, and it translates what your teammates say in voice chat, which no patch can do.

Yes. Unitra AI is free to start. The Free plan includes about 2 hours of voice translation a day, doubled when you opt in to data sharing, and covers voice, typed text, screenshot and automatic screen translation (Windows). No credit card needed. You can also try every Champion feature free for 7 days from inside the app: one trial per account, verified email or Steam account required, no card, and it ends on its own.
