## TextractorCLI & XUAT Integration

VNTranslator supports the following third-party integrations:

* [**TextractorCLI**](https://docs.vntranslator.com/user-guide/textractorcli) is a text hooker that extracts in-game text and sends it to VNTranslator for translation. The translated text is displayed in the [Extra Window](https://docs.vntranslator.com/features/extra-window)
* [**XUAT**](https://docs.vntranslator.com/user-guide/xuat-xunity-autotranslator) (XUnity.AutoTranslator) is used to translate Unity-based games in real-time.\
  Text extracted by XUAT is sent to VNTranslator for translation, then returned to XUAT to be displayed directly in the game.

***

## ~~RenPy Script~~ (Deprecated)

A legacy feature for translating RenPy-based games.
