Early Access Software

Get involved with this software as it develops.

Note: This Early Access software is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to use this software in its current state, then you should wait to see if it progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“LingoHUD is a real-time translation tool designed to work alongside games, videos, and applications. Early Access allows us to gather feedback from users with different hardware configurations, languages, and use cases. This helps us optimize performance for gaming scenarios and prioritize the features our community needs most.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“We plan to remain in Early Access for approximately 3-6 months. The timeline depends on community feedback and the completion of our optimization roadmap.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will include: GPU acceleration (CUDA) for faster speech recognition, additional OCR engines, expanded language support, lower memory usage through model optimization, and community-requested features. Core functionality (screen OCR, real-time audio translation, subtitle overlay) is already fully functional.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All core features are working: region and full-screen OCR with PaddleOCR and MangaOCR, real-time audio translation with Whisper, multiple translation engines (Google, DeepL, Gemini), text-to-speech, customizable hotkeys, and a radial quick menu. The application supports 12 UI languages. We plan to add offline translation (NLLB) in a future update. Current limitation: CPU-only mode (no GPU acceleration yet).”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price may increase slightly at full release to reflect added features and optimizations. Early Access supporters get the best price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We actively collect feedback through our Discord server. Bug reports with log files are addressed within 24-48 hours. Feature requests are tracked and prioritized based on community votes. Major updates will be announced through Steam and Discord.”

About This Software

About LingoHUD

LingoHUD is your ultimate AI-powered translation assistant that completely breaks down language barriers in the digital world. Designed to be your best companion not just for gaming, but also for watching movies, reading manga, or consuming foreign content. Translate on-screen text instantly, transcribe what you hear into subtitles, and type in-game using your voice!

🌟 Key Features

📸 The All-Seeing Eye (OCR): Game menus, quest logs, manga speech bubbles, or movie subtitles — capture the on-screen image with a single key (F6) and translate it into your language within seconds.

📖 Manga Translation & Smart Box: Automatically detects and translates text inside manga panels with intelligent text-box overlay.

💬 In-Game Chat OCR (PaddleOCR): Reads and translates in-game chat messages in real time using advanced OCR technology.

🗣️ Voice Typing: Speak into your microphone, and LingoHUD instantly converts your speech into text and types it automatically into the game chat (or any text field).

🎙️ Live Subtitle Assistant (Whisper AI): Listens to game and video audio and converts it into real-time subtitles using OpenAI Whisper technology. Never miss the story in videos without subtitles.

🧠 Premium Translation Quality: Get natural and fluent translations, not robotic ones, thanks to Google Translate and DeepL integration.

⚡ Performance & Privacy: Sits as a transparent overlay on your system with minimal performance impact. No data is sent without your action — LingoHUD only works on your command.

🎮 and 🎬 Use Cases

For Gamers: RPGs, MMOs, and strategy games with no language support. For Readers & Viewers: Japanese mangas, webtoons, and movies without subtitles.

Break the language barrier, enjoy the content. The world is at your fingertips with LingoHUD.

🚀 ROADMAP: What's Next?

We are working hard to make LingoHUD the ultimate translator. Here is what comes next:

🌐 Offline Translation (NLLB): Translate without internet using Meta's AI model — perfect for traveling or restricted networks.
⚡ GPU Acceleration (CUDA): Faster speech recognition and translation for users with NVIDIA GPUs.
🎯 Smart Auto-Detection: Automatically detect and translate all text on screen — no hotkeys needed. Just play.
🗣️ Real-time Voice Translation: Two-way voice translation for multiplayer games and Discord — speak your language, teammates hear theirs.
🧬 Voice Cloning: We are exploring translations that sound like YOUR voice, not a robot. (Requires GPU)
📁 Batch Translation: Drag and drop manga folders, PDFs, or game files for instant translation.

⚠️ Important Notes

Display Mode: Please set your game to "Borderless Window" mode for the LingoHUD overlay to appear properly. Internet: An active internet connection is required for online translation services. Indie Developer: LingoHUD is a one-person project. Thank you for your support! 💜

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

LingoHUD uses AI models that run entirely on your device (offline). These models perform two tasks: (1) translating on-screen text between languages using Meta's NLLB-200 neural translation model, and (2) converting spoken audio to text using OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition model. These are not generative AI — they do not create new content, images, stories, or dialogue. They only translate existing text and transcribe existing speech. All processing happens locally on your computer with no internet connection required.
