Mouse Tooltip Translator for Chrome and Edge 0.1.204 released

Published by

The Mouse Tooltip Translator extension, version 0.1.204, has been released for Chrome and Edge browsers. This tool enhances web browsing by allowing users to translate foreign language text simply by hovering over it, rather than translating an entire page. This feature is particularly useful for those who frequently encounter foreign language content online but may only need brief translations.

The extension uses Google Translate to provide translations and offers a user-friendly experience, making it easy for anyone to understand text in different languages. Key features include the ability to hover over or select text for translation, the visualization of tooltips on most web pages (excluding the Chrome web store), and support for both Google and Bing Translators. Additionally, users can listen to translations using Google Text-to-Speech (TTS), and it includes functionality for translating text in PDF documents via PDF.js.

Moreover, the extension offers experimental features such as translating YouTube captions when hovering over subtitle blocks and using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to translate text in comic book bubbles.

This tool is an excellent addition for anyone looking to simplify their translation needs while browsing the internet, whether for travel, study, or leisure.

In the future, further improvements could include enhanced language recognition capabilities, support for more document formats, and integration with additional translation services to broaden its utility. Additionally, a mobile version could allow users to access these features on smartphones and tablets, making translation even more accessible across various devices
