Eko · Use case
Translate as you type on your Mac
If you work across languages — emails to a client abroad, messages to a teammate overseas, reading a document in a language you half-know — switching to a separate translator and copy-pasting back and forth breaks your flow. Eko translates text right where it is: select a sentence or paragraph in any app, press a shortcut, and Eko replaces it in place — no browser tab, no copy-paste.

Translate in place, instantly
Select text and press ⌥T. Eko translates it and replaces the selection right there — in Slack, email, a doc, a chat window — no switching apps.
25 languages, one shortcut
Eko’s on-device model covers 25 languages out of the box, so the same ⌥T shortcut works whether you’re translating to Spanish, Japanese, or French.
Speak in your language, get it typed in another
Dictate with ⌥D in your own language and Eko can translate as it transcribes — useful for replying fast to someone who writes in a different language.
Keep sensitive text on your Mac
Run Eko fully on-device with a local model so client emails and messages never leave your machine, or bring your own API key if you prefer.
