Gain a better understanding of a galaxy far, far, away. Galactic Decoder will help you to decode the writings of those that came from a long time ago, simply by scanning with your device's camera. Works 100% offline, so you're covered no matter how far your travels take you. All decoding happens on your device, and there's no subscriptions or ads to get in your way. Point your camera at these writings, and see them decoded into the High Galactic alphabet. (Also known as the latin characters you likely know and love.) You'll be able to scan using live video, or load a photo from your camera roll. You'll also be able to capture photos of your scans and save them to your photos library to admire later. For those times where a manual touch is needed, or you just want to practice typing in Aurebesh, you can use the manual Decoder. Type in either alphabet, and see your message appear as you type. Currently supports Aurebesh and Aurebesh Droid, with support for more alphabets on the way.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Video Editing Controller at Free against Galactic Decoder's $0.99. Video Editing Controller also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.2). Galactic Decoder's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
