BORA helps you read visible English text in other Android apps by showing translated text over the original screen.
SCREEN TRANSLATION FROM ENGLISH
Read English articles, app menus and on-screen text in supported apps. Select your translation language, turn on BORA, and open the screen you want to read. Turn translation off at any time.
ON-DEVICE PROCESSING
For first use or a new language, connect to Wi-Fi to download language models. After download, that language pair can translate on your phone without Wi-Fi.
ACCESSIBILITY PERMISSION
While translation is on, BORA uses Android Accessibility to read the visible app name, screen structure and screen images. Images and recognized text are processed on your phone to display translations. BORA does not save screen images or send screen text to our server. Google ML Kit may send diagnostic and usage metrics. BORA does not tap buttons or type for you.
BEFORE YOU USE BORA
Source language: English. Recognition and translation may be inaccurate. Protected screens and screens containing input fields may not translate. Requires Android 14 or later.
