Pot is a cross-platform desktop application for hotkey-based text translation, screenshot OCR, and text-to-speech, built with Tauri. It supports many translation/OCR services (including AI providers like OpenAI and Gemini), offline dictionaries and OCR via plugins, and a plugin system for custom interfaces.

Use cases

  • translate selected text with a hotkey
  • extract text from a screenshot with OCR
  • translate text copied to the clipboard automatically
  • read translations aloud with text-to-speech
  • save translations to a vocabulary notebook like Anki
  • use ChatGPT or Gemini as a translation engine
  • run an offline dictionary and offline OCR

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained project - the homepage states Pot is no longer maintained
  • you need browser-based or mobile translation
  • you need batch document translation rather than snippet-level translation
