TranslateAir is a macOS app for people who need fast AI-powered translation and OCR text extraction across apps, websites, and documents.

Key capabilities include:

• Pop-up translation from any app, triggered when text is selected, with a floating bar for quick actions
• AI translation across 100+ languages, using multiple engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepL, Google Translate)
• OCR extraction to capture text from screenshots, designs, videos, PDFs, and source code
• Custom keyboard shortcuts for actions like translate and replace, translate selection, show menubar, and extract text (OCR)

Pricing: Freemium with a free plan available. Paid plan is $29.99/year.

What makes it notable is its macOS-first workflow, combining selection-based pop-up translation, multi-engine AI translation options, and one-click OCR extraction without requiring users to switch apps.
