Veya vs Snap to Text

Veya translates text right where you see it — directly on your iPhone screen. Stuck on a game, app, chat, or website in a language you don't read? Press once and Veya shows you the same screen with the translation in place, keeping the original layout. No copying, no switching apps, no tabs. How it works: 1. Add the Veya shortcut — once. 2. Bind it to the Action Button (or run it from Shortcuts and the Share sheet). 3. Download the languages you need, then translate with a single press. Why Veya: • Translation in place — text is replaced right on the screen, so you read in context. • One press — the Action Button translates the current screen instantly. • Works everywhere — any app, game, website, PDF, or screenshot. • Fully on-device — your iPhone does the translation; nothing is sent to the cloud. • Private by default — no account, no sign-up, no data collection. • Offline — once your languages are downloaded, no internet required. Set it up once — and translate anything on your screen.
