Steadier Live translation, a compact control bar that never covers your text, and better recognition of tables and Japanese/Korean text.

Live Mode & Display

  • Live translations stay perfectly still while the screen doesn't change, and swap cleanly the moment it does.
  • The Live button is shown in every viewfinder from the start.
  • A compact control bar with Live, Retry and Close sits just outside the viewfinder, so it never covers the text you are reading (#27). Live turns red while it is running.
  • Long translations keep their paragraph layout, and previous text is fully cleared on every update.
  • Move freely between displays: Live stays aligned on screens with different resolutions.
  • Long, busy Live sessions stay well within their memory limit.

Recognition

  • Tables, menus and label-and-value layouts are translated cell by cell.
  • Sharper Japanese and Korean recognition on macOS 27.
  • Malay text is recognized and translated reliably.

Setup & Settings

  • Step-by-step help for Screen Recording, and the Quick Start guide opens right under the menu bar on Macs with a crowded menu bar.
  • Translation history follows the 7-day retention shown in Settings. If you never changed this setting, entries older than 7 days are now removed; choose "Unlimited" to keep everything.
  • New "Rate ViewLingo…" menu item. The app may occasionally ask for a rating after you close a viewfinder.

The long-sleep translation failure in #24 is still under investigation.

Available on the Mac App Store.
