Why Snap? - Choose your app language when you get started - Guided setup with a video tutorial and subtitles in 12 languages - Recommended AssistiveTouch Single-Tap setup with Shortcuts - Also supports Back Tap or Action Button on compatible iPhones - On-device text recognition - Offline language model translation after required models are downloaded - Layout-aware translated overlays - Automatic source-language detection - 59 output languages - No account required - Free screenshot translation with occasional ads; optional Supporter subscriptions remove ads and support development. Private by design Snap is designed around on-device processing. Screenshots and translated text are intended to stay on your device unless you choose to share an output image or contact support.
