<p class="bb_paragraph" >Playto turns your game library into a language course. As you play, Playto automatically reads the text on your screen, shows it as a translucent overlay, and logs everything. When your gaming session ends, browse the log and pick the words and sentences you want to remember — they go into your personal dictionary. The more you play, the more your personal dictionary grows.</p><h2 class="bb_tag" >Key Features</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>Your personal dictionary grows with every session</strong> — The more you play, the more words and sentences you choose accumulate as learning assets.</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>Two capture modes for flexible reading</strong> — Cursor-follow tracks your mouse for tooltips and UI elements; fixed-region watches a set area for dialogue subtitles and status bars.</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>Everything is logged automatically</strong> — During gameplay, browse the log anytime to review past text, check word meanings, or hear them pronounced.</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>Curate your dictionary after each session</strong> — When you stop playing, pick the words and sentences you want to remember and save them to your personal dictionary.</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>8 quiz modes + SRS to make it stick</strong> — Flashcard, Multiple Choice, Fill Blank, Dictation, Meaning Match, Context Quiz, and more.</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>Hear how it's pronounced</strong> — Built-in text-to-speech for listening and pronunciation practice.</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>Vision Mode for stylized fonts</strong> — When OCR can't read fancy fonts, AI interprets the image directly.</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>No mods, no plugins, works with any PC game</strong> — Translation runs locally on your PC; no internet connection required.</p></li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >Notice</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>Languages:</strong> 12 languages supported for both UI and in-game meanings — EN, JA, ZH, KO, DE, FR, ES, PT, RU, IT, PL, VI.</p></li><li><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>VRAM:</strong> Local AI needs GPU VRAM in addition to your game (typically 2-4 GB extra). Please try the free demo (Playto Demo) to confirm compatibility before purchase.</p></li></ul><p class="bb_paragraph" ></p><p class="bb_paragraph" ><strong>How it fits into your play</strong></p><h2 class="bb_tag" >Read at your own pace, without pausing the game</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >Playto has two capture modes. For tooltips, menus, and specific UI elements, cursor-follow mode reads the text around your mouse. For dialogue subtitles or status bars that stay in one place, fixed-region mode watches a set area. Captured text appears as a translucent overlay showing both the original and a meaning hint, while everything is logged automatically. During gameplay, you can open the log anytime to review past text, check word meanings, or hear them pronounced. Long sentences come as AI hints, individual words are reliable via the dictionary popup — combine them with the context you see on screen and build your own reading.</p><h2 class="bb_tag" >After your session, curate your dictionary at your own pace</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >When you stop playing, Playto shows a session summary and lets you browse the text you encountered today. Pick the words and sentences you want to remember and add them to your dictionary — this curation is where your learning actually happens. Not every captured line is auto-saved; only what you decide to keep ends up in your dictionary. So your dictionary isn't an AI dump — it's your own curated learning log. Saved items go into SRS (spaced repetition) with adaptive review timing, and 8 quiz modes help the vocabulary stick. What you end up with isn't generated by AI — it's your own growing language instinct, built from the games you've actually played.</p><h2 class="bb_tag" >Stylized fonts and complex UIs — AI reads them too</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >Fantasy RPG emblem fonts, text overlaid on busy backgrounds, Japanese vertical writing — text that ordinary OCR struggles with is handled by Playto's Vision Mode, which uses AI to interpret the image directly. Captured text can be played back via built-in text-to-speech for pronunciation practice, and you can pick interesting words from the log later to save to your dictionary — the learning loop stays intact even for visually ambitious games.</p><h2 class="bb_tag" >Your games, your learning, your way</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >No mods, no plugins, no game-specific setup — Playto runs as an overlay over any PC game and starts working immediately. Translation uses open-source AI models running locally on your PC, so you don't need an internet connection while playing. Play at your own pace, with the games you love, growing your own dictionary.</p><h2 class="bb_tag" >Tune translation to each game</h2><p class="bb_paragraph" >Game translation is hard because context — character personality, tone, story background — doesn't reach the AI. Playto supports per-game glossaries where you can register character names and custom terminology, and those choices get reflected in the translations for that game. Long-sentence translation is still a work in progress, but with this kind of user-level tuning as our foundation, we plan to keep improving Playto's translation quality over time.</p>
