Easydict is a free macOS app that translates text instantly via typed input, on-screen selection, or screenshot OCR, querying 20+ services like DeepL, OpenAI, and Google simultaneously.
Easydict is a free macOS app for looking up words and translating text. The idea is to make translation as quick as possible, without switching browser tabs or opening a separate website. You install it and it sits in the background, ready to translate in a few different ways.
You can type text directly into the app window and hit Enter to translate. You can also select any text on screen (in a web page, document, or anywhere else) and either hover over it to get a query icon, or press a keyboard shortcut to translate immediately. There is also a screenshot mode where you press a shortcut, draw a box around text on screen, and the app reads the text from the image using OCR (optical character recognition) and translates it. This works on text inside images, which ordinary copy-paste cannot handle.
What makes the app unusual is the number of translation services it supports at once. It can query more than 20 services simultaneously and show you all the results side by side: Apple Translate, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepL, DeepSeek, Google, Bing, Baidu, Youdao, Tencent, and more. You can configure which services appear and in what order. The app also integrates with macOS system dictionaries for word definitions.
Installation is through Homebrew or by downloading a release directly from GitHub. The app requires macOS 13 or later. It is open-source, written in Swift, and licensed under the GPL.
Where it fits
- Select foreign-language text in any macOS app and get an instant side-by-side translation from multiple services at once
- Use screenshot OCR to translate text embedded in images that cannot be copy-pasted
- Compare translations from OpenAI, DeepL, Google, and Baidu simultaneously to find the most natural result
