My Translator is a real-time speech translation desktop app built with Tauri. It captures audio directly from your system or microphone, transcribes it, and displays translations in a minimal overlay — with no intermediary server involved.

Your audio never touches our servers — because there are none.

- You own your API keys — stored locally, never transmitted elsewhere
- No account, no telemetry, no analytics — zero tracking
- Transcripts saved as
.mdfiles locally, per session
