  • IXAY

    SUPPRESSION · FSRS

    Mark a word as known, or let spaced-repetition review decide, and the overlay stops translating lines you can already read.

  • IXAY

    CONTEXT WINDOW

    Reads the lines around each sentence before translating, so tone and character voice survive instead of coming out word by word.

  • IXAY

    JA · KO · ZH · EN

    IXAY reads a region of your screen instead of hooking into one app, so games, series, music videos, variety shows, and articles all work the same way.

  • IXAY

    PER-TITLE GLOSSARY

    Set the title you're on and give it a glossary of its own, designed to keep character names and world-specific terms coming out the same way every line.

  • IXAY

    REALTIME · F9 MANUAL

    Realtime mode waits for a line to finish before translating, so you read whole sentences. Manual mode (F9) is there when you want your own pace.

  • IXAY

    OCR OVERLAY · NO HOOKS

    Built to keep setup short: drag a box over the text, pick your languages, press the hotkey. No per-title text hooks to configure.

    AUTO-CAPTURE · ts-fsrs

    Words from what you actually played or watched become review cards on their own, with meaning and reading attached, and spaced repetition picks when to bring them back.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you want to know about IXAY

IXAY works mainly with single-player PC games: JRPGs, visual novels, and gacha titles like Persona or Final Fantasy, plus Japanese, Chinese, and Korean games that ship with no Thai support. It does not support online games with anti-cheat systems such as Valorant.

IXAY reads Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and English on screen and translates into Thai or English. While you play, it translates dialogue, menus, and item descriptions, so you can follow games that ship with no Thai or English localization.

No. IXAY has AI built in, so you just install it and play. There's no API key to create, no OpenAI signup, and no complex configuration. It's designed to be ready right after install, so you spend your time gaming instead of setting things up.

Yes. IXAY uses AI translation paired with game-specific glossaries, so terms stay correct in context instead of being translated word-for-word. It streams translations on screen quickly enough to keep up with dialogue and cutscenes.

IXAY has a free plan to start, plus two paid plans: Gamer at $4.90/month and Learner at $9.90/month, billed in Thai Baht (THB). This is launch pricing and may change. You can start on the free plan and upgrade anytime.

IXAY supports Windows first, since that's where most PC gamers play. macOS is not supported yet, but it may follow later if there's enough demand from players.

It's safe for single-player games. IXAY only reads the on-screen image to translate. It never touches game files or memory, so it doesn't modify the game itself. It is not recommended for online games with anti-cheat systems.

IXAY is available now on the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 (1809) or later. It's free to download and you can start on the free plan, then upgrade to a paid plan whenever you're ready.
