About

Point at the text. NovaLume recognizes it and translates it right in front of you. Built for menus, signs, packaging, notices, and printed text, NovaLume turns your iPhone camera into an immediate translation tool. Place a paragraph inside the viewfinder: the app detects the source language, shows the recognized text, and translates it into your selected language. SIMPLE BY DESIGN • Live automatic translation through the camera • Automatic source-language detection with manual override • Support for Italian, English, French, German, and Spanish • Separate views for the original text and translation • One-tap copy for the entire paragraph • An interface designed for both portrait and landscape MORE CONTROL WHEN YOU NEED IT Freeze the view to read at your own pace, correct the recognized source text, or retry uncertain lines. NovaLume can also flag possible differences in numbers, prices, times, dates, and units without interrupting the translation. TRANSLATE YOUR WAY Use the personal glossary to save your preferred wording for specific terms in each language pair. Your choices are applied to future translations and can be edited, removed, or exported. PRIVACY, BUILT IN Camera frames, recognized text, translations, and corrections are processed on the device. NovaLume does not use its own network connection, require an account, record video, or automatically save photos and scans. OFFLINE TRANSLATION Language pairs prepared with Apple system-managed models can be used offline. When required, the one-time model download is handled through Apple’s system consent flow. Fewer steps, faster understanding: point, read, translate.

What's New in NovaLume

1.9.14

November 4, 2026

NovaLume now offers more ways to translate, making everyday communication easier and more natural. Voice translation: speak directly into the app and get your words translated. Translation while you speak: translations can appear during recording, without waiting until you've finished speaking. Automatic language detection: NovaLume can identify the spoken language, or you can select it yourself. Five supported languages: translate between English, Italian, French, German, and Spanish. Language preparation: a new first-time setup helps you prepare translations for offline use. Easier text management: view the original words and their translation separately, copy text, or clear it when you're done. Refreshed interface: updated colors, more intuitive controls, and easier language selection. Improved reliability: enhancements to speech recognition, live translation, and overall stability. NovaLume still lets you translate text using your camera, now with the added convenience of voice translation.
