ForeignMenu
Read full descriptionHide full description
Point your camera at any foreign menu — ForeignMenu translates it in place, preserving the original layout. Dish names stay bilingual so you can order by pointing. Auto-straightens hand-held photos, handles multi-page menus, generates dish thumbnails, tracks who ordered what for group dining, and annotates the order back onto the menu for your server. Seven languages — one switch sets both the interface and the translation target, and a fresh install follows your system language. No server, no account, no tracking — bring your own OpenAI API key (in-app guide; a menu costs ~$0.05–0.25). Two full sample restaurants included, no setup needed to try.
