TXT backup
While a session runs, XNN Translate writes the current caption to a plain-text file named current.txt and rewrites it the moment the caption changes. It is the simplest way to show captions when a Browser Source overlay is not an option.
current.txt holds one line: the caption on screen right now. It shows the translated line, and falls back to the original words while a translation is still resolving. No markup, no styling — just the text.
The app's OBS panel shows you the file path. In OBS, add a Text (GDI+) source, turn on Read from file, and choose current.txt. The text then updates live as captions change.
Use TXT when a Browser Source overlay is unavailable, or when another tool — an accessibility reader, a second machine, a scoreboard — needs the caption as raw text. For styled captions in OBS, the Browser Source is the richer path.
