## What is Text Recognition Camera?

Text Recognition Camera is a smart camera that automatically finds text in view and takes a photo when your chosen conditions are met.

“ I want to capture when this appears on screen.”
“ I want to keep the exact moment this number shows up.”
In moments like these, the app watches for you.

●Helpful in situations like:

• Saving information shown on TVs or monitors
• Recording numbers or codes that appear only briefly
• Keeping copies of receipts or reference numbers
• Tracking game scores or timer displays
• Checking readings on meters or display panels

No need to wait for the right timing yourself.
The app automatically captures the moment important text appears.

● Key Features

■ Automatic capture when text is detected
When specific text or numbers appear on screen,
the app automatically triggers the shutter.

■ Option to capture a few seconds later
Great for changing screens or brief displays,
so you’re less likely to miss the right moment.

■ Save photos and detected text together
Each photo is stored along with the text recognized at that time.
You can review everything later in your history.

■ Tap text to copy instantly
Tap the text area in a photo to copy it,
then paste it directly into other apps.

■ Easy text capture even in dark or tight spaces
Designed to read text more easily in places like
behind TVs, inside shelves, or other dim areas.

■ Supports text recognition in 37 languages
Read labels, displays, and information in many different languages.
