Translation that stays out of your way.
A native Mac workspace for selected text, screen OCR, and focused bilingual work.
macOS 13 or later · Apple silicon and Intel · Free edition available
Lemvia brings translation into the place where you are already reading or writing. Select text in almost any Mac app, capture text that cannot be copied, or move into a quiet two-pane workspace for longer passages—without turning every translation into a browser detour.
|
Open a compact translation panel beside the source, then copy the result or replace the original selection directly. |
Capture text from menus, images, subtitles, scans, and PDFs with local OCR, then continue naturally into translation. |

 |
| Workflow | Built for |
|---|---|
| Selection translation | Short text inside the app you are already using, with copy and replace actions close at hand. |
| Screen OCR | Unselectable words in images, interfaces, subtitles, scans, and documents. |
| Bilingual workspace | Longer source and translated text that benefits from a focused side-by-side view. |
Lemvia makes the active translation route visible before a request is sent. Use Lemvia Hosted Cloud for a ready-to-go experience, or connect your own compatible API when you want direct control over the provider relationship.
- Local OCR — Screen recognition is performed on your Mac.
- Local history — Translation history is stored on your Mac and can be searched without creating an account.
- Clear routing — The selected translation service is shown in the app instead of being hidden behind an ambiguous pipeline.
- No behavioral advertising — Lemvia is a focused productivity tool, not an ad platform.
The free edition includes selection translation, single-region OCR, a compatible-API route, local history, and a monthly Lemvia Cloud allowance. Optional upgrades add higher OCR limits, custom styles, glossaries, expanded history, and additional cloud usage.
