Read and translate the text in an image
- Open an Instant in the viewer.
- Click the “Translate the text” icon (Languages).
- Choose the OCR source language when needed, then the translation language. The local pack offers 17 OCR choices and 100 translation languages; automatic OCR tries only a subset.
Copy the original text or translation. Processing runs on your PC, on demand, without sending the image or text to a translation service. It works offline with the bundled language pack; results may contain errors. If the pack is missing, update or repair the installation.
Capture an area: Snipe (Win+Shift+S)
- Press Win+Shift+S (by default, Momento replaces the Windows capture tool), or click the “Snipe” button in the Instants tab.
- The screen freezes. Pick a mode at the top: Rectangle, Circle, Freeform, or Text (OCR).
- Drag to select the area (a single click = full screen).
The area is copied to the clipboard AND saved to Instants. Esc, right-click or the cross cancel.
Notebook also lets you translate a text selection or the entire note on demand using the local language tools. Review the result after translation and undo with Ctrl+Z if needed.
