## What is DocentLens?

DocentLens — real docent commentary for museums and galleries abroad

Standing in front of an exhibit label you can't read? Skip the translation app. Take one photo, put in your earphones, and listen.

DocentLens reads the exhibit panel, artwork label, or the artwork itself and turns it into spoken docent commentary in English — not a translation. It adds context, unpacks difficult terms, and tells you why the piece in front of you matters.

Key features
• Snap and listen: commentary starts within seconds of taking a photo
• Artworks too: no label in sight? Shoot the artwork on its own and hear what DocentLens sees in it. Get the label in the same frame and the commentary walks you through the piece with the full story
• Ask by voice: hold the button and ask a question mid-listen — your visit never loses its rhythm
• Visit queue: shoot several exhibits in a row and they play back in capture order
• Lock screen & background playback: phone in your pocket, eyes on the exhibit
• Visit history: replay today's commentary anytime, at no extra cost
• Gallery import: photos of labels you took earlier work too

Made for
• Travelers who love museums and galleries abroad
• Anyone whose language is missing from the audio guide
• Anyone who wants the story behind a piece to share with travel companions

Free for 3 descriptions a day. Spending the whole day at a museum? A 24-hour pass removes the limit — no subscription, no auto-renewal.
Your photos are never stored on DocentLens servers, and your visit history is kept only on your device.

Languages: English, 한국어, 日本語, 繁體中文
