The Google Translate app has OCR and translation overlay, both live and static. Pretty slick imho

I'm aware of that, but it's not suitable for me. I'm looking for this functionality on my real computer, not my phone.

Google Lens may be accessible via the web-version of Google Photos. I know that has OCR functionality with at least easily-accessible translations (iirc not overlayed on the image, though).

Not sure if Google Lens is accessible outside of the app, though.
