Frequently Asked Questions

What manga reader apps does this work with?
PiP Screen Translate works as a floating overlay on top of any app. Popular manga readers include Tachimanga, Aidoku, Paperback, ComicGlass, and LINE Manga. It also works in Safari on sites like MangaDex, and with any PDF or CBZ reader.
Does it work offline?
The OCR (text recognition) runs entirely on your device — no internet needed for that part. Translation requires an internet connection for AI-powered results, or you can use Apple Translation for fully offline translation in supported languages.
What languages can it translate?
It reads Japanese, Korean, and Chinese text on screen. You can translate into 30+ languages including English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Arabic, and most major languages.
How accurate is the translation?
The AI translation is good enough to follow the story, understand dialogue, and enjoy the manga. It's not literary-grade — think practical reading companion, not official localization.
How is this different from Mangra or browser-based translators?
Browser-based translators force you into their reader — you lose your library, bookmarks, and reading progress. PiP Screen Translate is a floating overlay that works on top of YOUR reader app. Keep using Tachimanga, Aidoku, or whatever you prefer.
Is it free?
There's a free trial with no account required. Just download and start translating. A subscription unlocks unlimited translations.
