## What is LingoLens?

LingoLens turns your camera into a real-time language companion. Point at any text in the world around you - a street sign, restaurant menu, product label, newspaper, or storefront and tap any word, and instantly understand it. No typing. No switching apps. Just point and learn.

HOW IT WORKS

Open LingoLens and point your camera at any text. Words are detected automatically as you move. Tap any highlighted word to get a full breakdown: what it means, how it functions grammatically, and how it is used in a real sentence. For languages with non-Latin scripts, romanisation is included so you can also pronounce it correctly.

VOCABULARY

Every word you look up can be saved to your personal vocabulary list with a single tap. Review saved words any time, hear them spoken aloud in the correct accent, and search or remove entries as your list grows. Your vocabulary stays on your device - no account, no sync, no data collection.

LANGUAGES

Switch your target language directly from the scanner. LingoLens supports 25 languages including German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, and more.

PRIVACY

LingoLens does not require an account. No personal information is collected or stored. Camera access is used exclusively for live text detection and is never recorded or transmitted.

LingoLens is built for travellers, language learners, students, and anyone curious about the world around them.
