OffLens is a fully offline OCR app built on Apple’s VisionKit. Capture or pick photos, draw a precise crop, and recognize text in multiple languages without sending any data to servers. Your images and text stay on your device. Key features: · Offline by design: No uploads, no tracking, no ads. · Precise crop first: Drag corners or edges to target exactly what you need. · Multi-language OCR: Recognize text across many languages; auto-detect supported. · Proofread with highlights: See bounding boxes over the original image to verify accuracy. · Editable results: Review recognized text in a clean editor and copy with one tap. · History on-device: Keep up to 100 entries locally; view, edit, or delete anytime. · Camera and gallery: Snap a photo or import from your library; optional save-back after cropping. · Share and export: Copy lines or full results; share with friends. · Privacy-first: No analytics, no remote processing—everything runs locally. How it works: 1. Choose Photo or Camera, then draw the crop box. 2. OffLens runs VisionKit OCR offline and overlays highlights for quick review. 3. Edit text if needed, then copy or share. Why OffLens: · Great for receipts, documents, slides, whiteboards, books, and multilingual content. · Works anywhere—even without a network. · Fast, accurate recognition powered by VisionKit.
