AI Translate: Photo Translator

What the translator is built around

AI Translate: Photo Translator is built around the moments when text or speech in another language gets in the way: a menu in an unfamiliar alphabet, a reply you did not catch, a document you cannot read. The listing says it covers voice, typed text, photos, live camera content, files and conversations, with support for more than 100 languages. Named languages include English, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Portuguese, Italian, Turkish, Bengali, Vietnamese and Thai.

The developer names travelers, students, professionals, language learners and people communicating across languages as its intended users. A traveler would mostly use the camera and voice tools for signs, menus and a conversation at a counter. A student or someone working with foreign-language material would find the file and dictionary tools more relevant.

Speaking and holding two-way conversations

Voice translation takes what you say and renders it in another supported language. Voice conversation is set up for two people sharing one device, each speaking in their own language while the app carries the exchange between them.

AI Magic Translator automatically detects the language and translates with a simpler setup than the other tools. AI Conversation is a separate chatbot. You can ask it questions, practice a language with it, or work through everyday exchanges, and the listing says it responds instantly.

Reading signs, menus and photos with the camera

Live camera translation works on the camera feed itself. You point the phone at text and the app translates it directly, which the listing names as useful for signs, menus, labels and notices.

Camera and photo translation works from a still image. You capture a photo that contains text, and the app reads the text with text recognition before translating it. Gallery translation works the same way on a picture already saved on the phone, so you can translate text in an existing image without taking a new photo.

Translating documents, files and typed text

Text translation takes words, phrases or whole paragraphs that you type or paste, and translates them between supported languages. Translation history keeps earlier translations so you can review them or reach your recent activity quickly.

File translation accepts PDF, DOC and TXT files that you upload, then translates their content. The listing points to study, work and everyday reading as the main uses.

Offline translation handles supported languages without an internet connection, using the offline language support available in the app.

Dictionary, currency and notes alongside translation

The simple dictionary looks up single words and shows their meanings and pronunciation, which the listing aims at people learning another language.

The currency converter changes amounts between supported currencies inside the app, so you do not need to leave it for a quick price check.

You can save translated text as a note, and the built-in to-do list handles tasks alongside your notes.

Translating text on other screens with tap-to-translate

Tap-to-translate is a user-activated feature that is off by default and works only while you have it turned on. A floating overlay lets you select text that is visible on the screen, and the selected text is translated in real time using ML Kit.

The listing says you can stop or disable the feature at any time. It also says the app does no background monitoring or keystroke tracking, and that text read this way is not stored or shared.
