Text Huntr vous permet de pointer la caméra de votre téléphone sur n'importe quoi et de rechercher instantanément les mots de votre choix ou une liste de mots — dans plusieurs langues, entièrement sur votre appareil. Pointez simplement votre caméra et recherchez comme sur une page web. Sans publicités. Sans abonnements. Sans connexion internet.

Richten Sie einfach Ihre Kamera aus und suchen Sie wie auf einer Webseite. Keine Werbung. Keine Abonnements. Keine Internetverbindung erforderlich. ----- More Info ----- Stop scanning pages line by line. Text Huntr finds the exact word or phrase you're looking for. Type a word or phrase and Text Huntr highlights every matching occurrence in real time as you move the camera across a page, sign, screen, menu, or document. No need to take photos first. No waiting. Just type, point, and see results instantly. You can even maintain a list of words you commonly search for. For example: a list of food items that can cause allergies. Two ways to search: 1. Live Camera — Hold your phone over any printed or on-screen text and start typing. Matching words are highlighted with a yellow overlay in real time as the camera reads the scene. Great for skimming long documents, finding a name in a printed list, or locating a word on a busy sign. 2. Photo Mode — Pick any image from your photo library or capture a still snapshot from the camera. Text Huntr analyzes the image and highlights every match. Zoom in, pan around, and save the annotated image with highlights directly to your Photos. - 100% On-Device. 100% Private. Text Huntr uses Apple's built-in Vision framework — a deep learning OCR engine that runs entirely on your iPhone's Neural Engine. No image is sent to any server. No account required. Works in airplane mode. Your documents stay yours. Recognises handwriting too. Multiple Languages supported: English · French · German · Spanish · Italian · Simplified Chinese · Traditional Chinese · Japanese · Korean (practically any language you can type) Mixed-language text is handled automatically — a page with both English and Japanese will have both recognized and searchable in the same scan. Key Features: - Real-time text recognition on every camera frame - Instant search highlighting as you type - Cyan outlines show all detected text; yellow highlights show your matches - Pick an image from your photo library to search - Save highlighted photos at full native resolution to your Camera Roll - No internet connection required - No data collection, no account required, no subscription required - Supports iPhone in portrait orientation
