PiP Screen Translate
The screen translator iPhone should've had built in PiP Screen Translate is a floating translation overlay for iPhone and iPad. It sits on top of whatever app you're using and translates the screen in real time — no screenshots, no app switching, no leaving what you're doing. If you've ever used Circle to Search on Android or Bubble Translate, this is that but for iOS. Apple still doesn't offer anything like it natively, and Google Lens makes you leave the app to scan a photo. PiP Screen Translate just... stays there while you keep doing your thing. How it actually works You start the overlay and it floats on top of your current app in a Picture-in-Picture window. It reads text from the screen using on-device OCR — including text you can't select or copy, like text baked into images, game interfaces, manga panels, or apps that render everything as a canvas. That's the key difference from Apple Translate or Google Lens. Those tools need selectable text or a screenshot. PiP Screen Translate reads pixels, so it works on literally anything visible on your screen. Floats on top of any app — shopping, banking, games, manga readers, whatever Reads text that Apple Translate and Google Lens can't touch — game UI, manga, image-based apps All OCR runs on-device. Nothing leaves your phone Basically split-screen translation for iPhone (since Apple won't give us actual split screen) The people who use this the most Expats. People living in Japan, Korea, China who need to get through banking apps, government portals, healthcare forms, KakaoTalk, Naver, Meituan, Alipay — all day, every day. The screenshot-to-Papago loop gets old real fast when you're doing it 50+ times a day. Manga and webtoon readers who don't want to wait for fan translations. Open your reader, float the overlay, read the raw Japanese or Korean chapters right now. People sourcing products from China — Taobao, 1688, Pinduoduo, Xiaohongshu. The overlay stays on while you browse listings, check prices, message sellers. Gamers playing Japanese or Korean games with no English patch. The overlay translates menus, dialogue, and UI without pausing or switching apps. Android switchers who lost Circle to Search or Samsung Live Translate when they moved to iPhone. This is what fills that gap.
