Screencast: documentation in a browser, the cursor on a sentence, the translation beside it
To be shot. Until then this frame marks the spot and its size.

What it looks like

  1. 1Enable translation under the cursor in the app menu or translation settings.
  2. 2Hold the configured keys and point at accessible text to see the translation beside it.
  3. 3If no accessible text is found under the cursor, VerbaIDE translates text you previously copied to the clipboard.
  4. 4Pin the translation window to compare the result with the original and a reverse translation.

What you get

21 translation languagesChoose a direction and download the required models. Russian and Ukrainian to English is bundled; reverse directions require separate downloads.
Under the cursor or from the clipboardTranslate accessible text in your browser and other apps. If cursor text is unavailable, copy it to the clipboard first.
Reverse translationCompare the original, translation and translation back into your language in the pinned window to help spot changes in meaning.

For public documentation nobody cares. For a client email, an internal spec, or a stack trace with your own paths in it, that is a copy of your work on someone else’s machine.

What it costs

Translation under the cursor is a paid feature. Plain dictation stays free forever and needs no account. Everything on this page is opened by the 14-day trial that starts by itself once you sign up.
