ToolTip AI

Translate text under
your cursor on Windows.

ToolTip AI Translate is a hover translator for Windows 11 and Windows 10. You leave the pointer on any text and it appears translated right beside it — no copying, no selecting, no switching window. The original stays underneath so you can compare.

A hover translator that reads what you already see.

ToolTip AI Translate reads the text you are already looking at and shows it in your language beside the pointer. It is a translation layer that lives on any Windows control — a dialog, a menu, a button, a line inside another program.

You do not copy anything and you do not change window. The pointer is the only interface: leave it over the text and the translation appears in a small lens, with the original kept intact underneath so you can compare the two and decide whether the wording matters.

It is published as its own listing on Microsoft Store and it is also one of the layers inside the complete ToolTip AI application. On its own it brings the translation; it does not bring the rest radar, the voice guide or the advice panel that the full app adds.

How it reads the text under the pointer.

There are two reading paths, and the app chooses between them on its own depending on what the control under the cursor is willing to give up.

When a Windows control exposes its own text, Translate reads it directly with UI Automation. When it does not — an image, a canvas, a custom-drawn surface — it recognizes the area around the pointer with Windows.Media.Ocr, on your own machine.
  • No selection, no clipboard. The gesture is the same one you already make: stop the pointer over the text.
  • Both readings side by side. The translation appears in a lens and the original stays visible underneath for comparison.
  • A global shortcut. Ctrl+Shift+T translates whatever is under the cursor without activating the pointer layer by hand.
  • On by default. Inside the complete app the layer is called «Translate under the pointer» and it comes switched on.

Local reading, honest about the network.

Reading the text happens inside Windows: UI Automation and Windows.Media.Ocr run on your own machine, and no screen image is uploaded to a Dixi3 Labs server — there is no such server. The translation itself is delivered by a translation service, with a second service as a fallback, so the recognized text does travel to produce the translated wording.

  • No account. The app has no sign-up; the license ties to the Microsoft account you use to install from the Store.
  • Nothing stored on our systems. What you configure lives in your Windows, not in a cloud of ours.
  • Password fields are protected. The fields UI Automation detects as passwords are neither read nor sent.
  • The panel does not appear in screenshots or recordings, on purpose, so nobody captures your screen with the HUD on it.

The rest of the family.

Translate is one layer of a point-and-read assistant. The other pieces live in their own pages and their own listings.

ToolTip AI Aura

A screen reader for Windows controls: it analyzes the element under the cursor and reads it aloud with local text-to-speech, from a floating capsule you drag anywhere.

Questions people ask before installing.

Does the translation work offline and without an API key?
Reading the text is local: it happens inside Windows with UI Automation and Windows.Media.Ocr on your own machine, with no API key. Producing the translated wording uses a translation service, with a second service as a fallback, so that step needs a network connection.
Do I have to create an account?
No. The app has no server of its own and no sign-up. The license ties to the Microsoft account you use to install from the Store, and it is not a subscription: it is a one-time payment for life.
Does it work on Windows 10?
Yes, from build 19041, and also on Windows 11. There is only an x64 build: there is no ARM64 build.
Translate, Aura or the complete ToolTip AI — which do I install?
ToolTip AI is the complete application: the three layers live on the same element, with a single panel and a single configuration. Translate and Aura are two of those layers living in their own listing. If you only want translation, install Translate; if you want the set, the listing is ToolTip AI.
Is there a free trial?
No. This listing has no 7-day trial and no subscription: you buy it once and it stays. What it does have is a free promotion in Microsoft Store until January 1 — grab it there while it lasts, and after that date the lifetime license costs $11.99.

Free in Microsoft Store until January 1.

It installs from Microsoft Store and updates itself. This page carries no hand-written amount: the Store shows the figure in dollars and converts it to your currency at the moment of paying, and that is the one that counts.
