Point your camera at a menu, a street sign, or a train timetable. SofiLingo reads it and tells you what it says. No signal needed. DESIGNED FOR WHERE YOU ACTUALLY ARE Translation runs entirely on your phone. On a plane, in a tunnel, in a mountain village with one bar of signal — it works the same. Download the languages you need over hotel wifi and forget about it. No roaming charges. No waiting for a page to load while a waiter stands over you. SCAN, TYPE, SPEAK OR LISTEN Hold your camera up to text and SofiLingo highlights what it can read. Tap to translate. Or type a phrase and show your screen to the person you're talking to. Or say it out loud and hear the answer spoken back — for the times there's nothing to point at and nothing you can spell. Or put the phone on the table and let it listen. What the other person says appears in your language a moment after they say it — a doctor explaining, a guide talking, a shopkeeper answering. Read it, or hear it through earbuds. Nothing is recorded. The conversation is translated and then it's gone. 58 LANGUAGES English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Turkish, Greek and Arabic. SAVED SCANS Every scan is kept. Look up that menu again over dinner, or translate it into a different language — as many times as you like, at no extra cost. Capture one of those without signal and SofiLingo saves the photo, then translates it automatically the next time you're online. HONEST ABOUT TWO THINGS Scanning is better online for 33 of the 58 — some use scripts your phone can't read at all, and in others it reads badly enough to matter. Without a signal your phone still has a go, and typing works offline in every language. And listening depends on your phone rather than on us — an iPhone can hear about half of the 58. Where yours can't, SofiLingo says so before you press record and offers you a language it can hear instead. We'd rather tell you now than have you find out at the worst moment. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No email address. We never ask who you are. Your translations and scan history stay on your phone. We don't collect them, read them, or sell them. Free with ads; the Holiday pass removes them. If a translation comes out wrong you can send us that one scan to help fix it — nothing is sent unless you ask, and we tell you exactly what goes before anything moves. PRICING Try it free — your first 15 translations are on us, no card required. After that: • Watch a short video — another 15 translations, as often as you like. • One-time Holiday pass — 14 days, one payment, nothing to cancel. Built for a single trip. The Holiday pass is a one-off purchase. It doesn't renew, and there's nothing to remember to cancel when you get home. — Privacy: https://sofilingo.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://sofilingo.com/terms

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scena at none against SofiLingo's 3. Scena also leads on ads (none vs shown). SofiLingo's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
