## What is PointLens?

PointLens helps you understand the world in front of you through your camera. Point at a sign, menu, museum exhibit, product label, notice, instruction, or everyday object, and get an AI-powered explanation in clear, practical language.

Choose how PointLens answers: Auto, English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French, Japanese, or Korean. Use it to translate, explain context, and guide your next step in the language you prefer.

PointLens is more than a word-for-word translator. It focuses on the context you actually need: what the text or object means, whether there is a rule or risk, what action makes sense, and what follow-up question could help.

Use PointLens when you travel, visit museums, read unfamiliar menus, check street signs, compare labels, or need quick context without switching between search, translation, and notes apps.

Key features:

- AI camera understanding for signs, menus, labels, exhibits, notices, instructions, and everyday objects
- Answer languages: Auto, English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French, Japanese, and Korean
- Clear explanations for foreign-language or unfamiliar content
- Practical next-step guidance, including rule and risk checks when relevant
- Helpful follow-up questions such as “Can I enter?”, “Any real risk?”, or “Who is it for?”
- Saved history for useful answers
- Language settings for translation, context, and guidance
- Support tools for scan balance, account protection, and contact options

Examples:

- Understand a Japanese traffic sign before crossing or entering
- Read a French or Japanese menu and choose with more confidence
- Get context from a museum label or artwork description
- Interpret a warning notice, product label, or public instruction
- Save an explanation you may need again later

PointLens is built for everyday moments: open the camera, point at what matters, choose your answer language, and get an answer you can act on.
