Side Screen: Game Translator - Your Ultimate Real-Time Gaming Companion
IMPORTANT NOTICE: This app is designed exclusively as a companion "side screen" for external hardware (Console (PX5 / PX4), Mac and PC). It does NOT translate native iOS games or mobile apps. You play your games on your TV or PC monitor, and your iOS device acts as a dedicated wireless translation display.
Play console or PC game in your native language in real-time. Side Screen: Game Translator captures your game's visuals and audio over Wi-Fi, delivering instant translation without a camera, microphone, or capture card.
Powered by the Apple Neural Engine, text and voice are processed 100% offline with zero latency and maximum privacy.
NO SUBSCRIPTIONS. NO CREDITS.
Pay once and enjoy seamless translation in your favorite games.
CORE MODES:
- Console Mode (Headless Remote Play)
Connect via your local network. Side Screen streams game data to your iOS device in the background. Frame the subtitle area for instant OCR text translation or listen to digital audio for live speech translation (STT). Wireless and camera-free!
- External PC & Mac Mode
Connect your computer via Wi-Fi. Side Screen captures your PC's screen text (OCR) and system audio (STT) for instant translation straight to your iPhone or iPad.
WHY SIDE SCREEN?
- Direct Digital Capture: Say goodbye to holding your phone up to the TV. Audio and video are captured directly over Wi-Fi. No cameras, background noise, or microphones.

- Context-Aware AI: The engine remembers previous dialogue lines, delivering accurate translations (e.g., character genders and lore).
- 100% Offline & Private: All processing happens on-device using downloaded Apple Language Packs.
- Zero Subscriptions & No Credits: Unlike cloud translators charging by the minute, Side Screen is a true premium app. Pay once for full access with no time limits.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Q: How do console translations work without a capture card?
A: Side Screen acts as a headless Remote Play receiver over Wi-Fi. While you play on your TV, your iOS device displays real-time translations.
Q: Do I need to point my phone's camera at the TV?
A: No! Direct digital capture over Wi-Fi means room lighting or background noise never affect translation.
Q: Can I translate PC/Mac games?
A: Yes! Connect your computer via Wi-Fi to capture screen text (OCR) or system audio (STT) for instant translation.
Q: Does it translate native iOS mobile games?
A: No, Side Screen is exclusively a companion tool for external hardware (consoles and PCs).
Q: Is it really offline?
A: Yes. Once Apple language packs are downloaded, all OCR, STT, and translation processing run entirely on-device via the Neural Engine.
Q: Why use Apple Neural Engine instead of online cloud APIs or custom API keys?
A: Online cloud APIs introduce network latency and recurring server costs that force subscription models or credit limits. Custom API keys add setup complexity. Side Screen uses Apple Neural Engine for zero-latency, 100% offline translation with a seamless, plug-and-play user experience—pay once with no subscriptions, credits, or API key configuration required.
