About ScanLingua Photo Translator
Scan paper documents, extract editable OCR text, translate on device, and export clean TXT or PDF files without an account or watermark. Documents are kept in the app's local storage and are not used for server-side processing by ScanLingua. ScanLingua is built for travelers, students, language learners, and anyone who needs a private document scanner with OCR translation. Capture receipts, notices, menus, study notes, manuals, screenshots, or printed pages with the document camera, then turn images into editable text and bilingual reading material on your iPhone. Key features: - Scan single-page or multi-page documents. - Import photos and screenshots for image-to-text OCR. - Recognize text on device with local OCR. - Edit OCR text before translation. - Download offline language pairs for local translation. - Read original text and translation side by side. - Copy original text, translation, or bilingual segments. - Save useful sentences for local search and study. - Export bilingual TXT, bilingual PDF, and image PDF files. - Share exports through the iOS share sheet. - Keep documents local by default. Why ScanLingua: Many scanner apps focus on cloud storage or subscriptions. ScanLingua focuses on a free local workflow: scan, OCR, translate, edit, export, and share without requiring an account. Your documents stay in the app container unless you choose to share an export with another app. Privacy: Scanned images, OCR text, translations, saved sentences, and exports stay on your device for the core workflow. ScanLingua does not use document content for server-side processing.
