Requires a Switch with video output, a compatible dock, HDMI cable, and an iPad-compatible USB capture device. Compatibility depends on your hardware configuration.

BEFORE YOU SET OFF

Good to know.

Do I need any extra hardware?

Yes. Connect a Switch that supports video output to your iPad using its dock, an HDMI cable, and a UVC-compatible USB capture card. SwitchGenie is a display and translation tool, not a game emulator.

Does translation need an internet connection?

Yes. Translation requires an internet connection. Text clarity, typefaces, and your network connection can affect recognition and translation results.

Can I change how subtitles look?

Yes. Adjust the text size, text color, and subtitle background opacity to suit your game.

Will it work with my iPad?

Check the current device and system requirements on the App Store, and make sure your iPad recognizes your USB capture device.

Your next favorite line is waiting.

Great stories.
