TransPeek puts a small floating window over whatever app you're using. It reads the text next to it and shows each sentence with its translation, so you never copy, switch apps or long-press again. Rare words are highlighted for language learners. A fixed-region mode handles subtitles and game dialogue. 20 languages, any pair. OCR and translation both run on the device: no account, no cloud, works offline. 3-day trial, then a one-time purchase.

Could you build this?

No iOS sandboxing strictly prohibits third-party apps from drawing floating overlays over other apps or capturing their screen content in the background without specialized system permissions or enterprise MDM profiles.

What it would actually take: On iOS, arbitrary floating system overlays and live screen reading of other apps are prohibited by Apple's app sandbox; accomplishing this requires using private iOS APIs, jailbreaking, or running an on-device Screen Recording broadcast extension (ReplayKit) paired with an on-device OCR engine (Apple Vision framework) and local translation models (CoreML / Natural Language framework). Deploying this to the App Store is impossible under current App Store Review Guidelines, requiring deep iOS systems engineering, reverse engineering of SpringBoard, and private framework injection.
