## What is AllergyLens Japan?

AllergyLens Japan is a one-time-purchase label scanner for travelers with food allergies or celiac disease visiting Japan.

Point your camera at the ingredient list on any Japanese food package. The app reads the Japanese text on-device and highlights your allergens in red - including the hidden forms that ordinary translation misses (soy sauce contains wheat; "whey" appears as several different Japanese words).

YOUR ALLERGEN PROFILE
Pick your allergens from Japan's 28 officially designated allergens (wheat, egg, milk, peanut, shrimp, soba and more). Your picks glow red; the other 27 are flagged in yellow so a companion's allergy is caught too.

A DICTIONARY BUILT FOR JAPANESE LABELS
Each allergen carries a dictionary of the real words used on Japanese packages - alternate spellings, kanji/kana variants, and derived ingredients. Wheat alone covers flour, soy sauce, gluten, fu and more.

WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE
No internet needed in the konbini aisle. Nothing you scan ever leaves your phone.

PASTE MODE
Paste text from an online store or menu and get the same highlighting.

SCAN HISTORY
Every scan is saved with its photo and verdict, so you can re-check the snacks in your hotel later.

IMPORTANT
AllergyLens is a reading aid, not medical advice. Label reading can miss printing variations, and cross-contamination is not detectable from labels. If your allergy is severe, always confirm with staff and carry your medication. When in doubt, don't eat it.

PAYMENT
One-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no account.
