Overview

Play Japanese games in your language. Real-time translation of on-screen text with no patches required.

Press the translate hotkey during gameplay to capture and translate the current screen. The translation appears as an overlay and auto-dismisses after a configurable time.

Speech (Text-to-Speech)

Hear translated dialogue read aloud. Turn text-heavy RPGs into voiced experiences.

When you translate text, you can have it spoken aloud with customizable voices. The emulator audio automatically lowers during speech playback for clarity.

  • Alloy
  • Ash
  • Ballad
  • Coral
  • Echo
  • Fable
  • Onyx
  • Nova

  • Cedar

Speed Options

Adjust playback speed from 0.25x to 4x:

  • 0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x (slower)
  • 1x (normal)
  • 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x, 3x, 4x (faster)

Speech Style

Add custom instructions to control how the voice sounds. For example, you could instruct it to speak with a specific accent or tone.

Translation settings can be configured at three levels:

  • Global - Default settings for all games
