This project provides a real-time game translation tool for Windows users, leveraging OCR and AI translation to enable playing games in different languages. It targets gamers who wish to overcome language barriers, offering a flexible and feature-rich solution for on-the-fly translation.

How It Works

The tool captures text from game windows using various OCR engines, including built-in options like OneOCR and Windows OCR, as well as external ones like PaddleOCR and EasyOCR. Captured text is then translated via multiple AI services such as Google Translate, Gemini, ChatGPT, or local models via Ollama and LM Studio. It features "Smart Recognition" for game context and character names, with customizable overlay or chat window displays.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Primary install/run: Download from Releases and extract rst.exe.
• Prerequisites: Windows 10+, game running in windowed or borderless mode. An NVIDIA GPU is recommended but optional.
• Setup: Simple setup involves running rst.exe and configuring OCR and translation settings. Advanced setup for external OCRs (PaddleOCR, RapidOCR, EasyOCR) requires a one-time Conda installation, which may take 5-15 minutes and fails if the application path contains spaces.
• Links: Releases, Vietnamese README, Discord (Note: Discord link is illustrative, actual link not provided in README).

Licensing & Compatibility

• License: BSD-style attribution.
• Compatibility: Primarily Windows 10+. NVIDIA GPU recommended for performance. Conda installation requires paths without spaces.

Limitations & Caveats

The advanced setup for external OCR engines can be time-consuming and is sensitive to installation paths containing spaces. Performance may be impacted without a recommended NVIDIA GPU. Games must be run in windowed or borderless windowed modes for screen capture.
