## What is Vocabulary Camera?

The Vocabulary Camera turns everyday objects into language lessons! Just snap a photo (or choose one from your library) and this playful little app will use AI to pick out three useful random vocabulary words based on what it sees.  (You'll need to supply your own OpenAI API key.)

Each vocabulary word comes with:
  * Its translation into your chosen language,
  * A brief note on where the word comes from (etymology or origin), and
  * An example sentence with an English translation

How It Works:
  * Pick your target language,
  * Take or choose a photo of anything; a scene, an object, your desk,
  * Wait a few seconds while Vocab Cam talks to OpenAI, and
  * Learn three new words!

Note:
  * You must supply your own OpenAI API key. This gives you control and keeps me from getting buried under an enormous API bill. Your key is stored securely on-device.  No cloud nonsense.
