Great translation, hard time using it over other apps

This does great translation. But I struggle to find ways to get the translation to work with full screen apps. If I make a .pdf take the full screen, Transcribe disappears, or is only on the main desktop. With keynote, you can’t move the translation box once it’s in fullscreen, so you need to put it in place before you start the presentation. Very much limits the use cases.

Thanks, this is really useful feedback. I'll work on improving this, and let you know when I have an update!

Great Tool & Request
09/06/2025

okayjeeez
Hello! This is a nifty little tool, thank you for making it!I am a teacher with several different languages spoken in one of my classes. I am curious if would be possible for you to add Persian as well?Also, another request or idea: Would it be possible to have multiple languages to be displayed right next to each other? Maybe each can have its own color, too? That would be a super helpful tool to my English Learning students; and to all of the teachers in this department at my school site (potentially district).Thank you again for making this tool!

Developer Response
Right now I'm only able to support the languages supported by Apple's built-in translation framework, and unfortunately Persian isn't one of those. I may try to expand support using online translation at some point, I'll let you know if I do!As for your other request, I'd love to hear more about what you're imagining and how you think you'd use it with your students! Do you mind reaching out to me via email at chris@transcrybe.app and tell me more about how you'd use this? I'd love to help you out!

When running on MacBook Pro, the icon can stay under the black area in the screen and not be able to use it. There should be some shortcuts to start it without clicking on the icon.

Developer Response
Thanks, yeah that's a good idea. I use the app Bartender so I don't lose icons behind the notch, so I hadn't noticed this. Thanks for letting me know!
