About SnapText: OCR & AI Tutor
Turn printed text into digital text in seconds. SnapText scans textbooks, notes, and documents with your camera, then lets you ask an AI tutor anything about what you just captured. — Point and capture — Aim at any page. A yellow frame shows what SnapText will read. Pinch to zoom, move it with two fingers. Live OCR recognizes text right inside the camera view, so you can check accuracy before saving. — Clean results every time — Remove noise and OCR artifacts with one tap. Use offline cleanup for privacy, or server-side cleanup for longer passages. Copy the cleaned text straight into any app. — Ask your AI tutor — Open a saved scan and tap "Ask AI". Get explanations, step-by-step solutions, summaries, or translations. The AI uses the full scanned text as context, so answers stay focused on what you actually captured. — Offline OCR keeps you private — Recognition runs entirely on your device using Apple Vision. Your camera feed never leaves your phone. Only AI chat needs a network connection. — Everything saved, always with you — Every saved scan stores both the original image and recognized text. Zoom into images with pinch gestures, copy text to any app, and revisit every study session in one library. — 24 recognition languages — English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Arabic, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Finnish, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay, Vietnamese, Thai, and Hindi. — Made for students and professionals — • Study math, chemistry, biology, and history with step-by-step AI explanations • Digitize class notes, research papers, and meeting notes • Translate foreign textbooks as you read • Pull quotes and citations straight into essays • Extract receipts, labels, and handouts into searchable text Core OCR features require no sign-up. Start scanning in under 10 seconds. Terms of Service: https://shofj.com/en/apps/snap-text/terms-of-service
