Hello everyone, today I'm going to share with you a batch of high-quality software alternatives that were recommended before.
gpt anywhere#
For example, macgpt, you can summon the dialog box at any time with a shortcut key to let chatgpt help you solve problems! However, this software is only available on the Mac platform.
So I found another tool for you called gpt anywhere, which supports win, mac, and linux. You can summon the dialog box by pressing ctrl shift+/, but you need to import your own API in the settings first. Many beginners don't even know what this thing is. Anyway, no matter how you do it, you need to get an account first. After logging into the official website backend, you can see the API key of your own account, and then you can call chatgpt through the API in this kind of software.
Easydict#
We also shared a very powerful and easy-to-use translation software called bob before, which also supports chatgpt translation and is very convenient with its built-in OCR recognition. Once you've used it, you'll fall in love with it.
However, that software is paid. If you don't want to spend money, there is a free and open-source software called Easydict, which can be said to be a substitute for bob. It supports OCR recognition and translation as well as many translation engines. However, it is only available on the Mac system. And the standalone software version does not support chatgpt translation. But it can be combined with another efficiency tool to achieve it.
raycast#
It's called raycast, which we introduced before. In short, it has many functions, and everyone interested can learn more about it. One of them is the support for integrating third-party extension services, including Easydict, which can be installed directly on the official website.
Then we go to the settings and find "search word". On the right side, you can set which translation engines you need and import your chatgpt API.
After that, we can summon the window with a shortcut key, press "s" and then enter, and it will enable this Easydict extension. Just enter the content you want to translate, and it will display the search results of the translation engine you just selected below.
This extension has many functions, including word lookup and text translation, support for 48 languages, many mainstream translation engines, automatic pronunciation of words, and text-to-speech by Youdao, etc. You can learn more about these functions by yourself.
However, if you need both OCR recognition and chatgpt translation at the same time, then there is only bob for now. If you need it, you can check out the previous episode on AI translation tools.
AI Dialogue#
Finally, in terms of English learning, we previously recommended the trancy plugin, which translates video subtitles using AI. Today, we have found a website for you to have a conversation with AI for language learning. To prevent you from only speaking broken English, the website supports three English models and one Japanese model. The name is quite interesting. You may need to be polite when practicing Japanese.
When having a conversation with AI, the AI's replies are hidden by default, which can improve your listening skills. You can also view the translated text for comparison and recognition. The voice effect is also very authentic. It can provide grammar, spelling, and even intonation feedback. It is currently in the testing phase, so it is completely free, but the number of conversations per day is limited. Fortunately, you can increase the number of conversations by inviting friends.
