Menu Pixie

Read full description

Point your camera at a menu you can't read and get back one you can: every dish translated into your language, with a photo, the price, and what's in it. The translated menu appears in seconds — photos fill in right after. Menu Pixie was built for travelers squinting at a menu in a city they've never visited, and for anyone who wants to see the food before they order. SEE EVERY DISH BEFORE YOU ORDER A menu tells you what a dish is called. Menu Pixie shows you what it looks like. Every dish gets a photo, so you choose with your eyes instead of gambling on a name. MORE THAN WORD-FOR-WORD "Grandmother's pot" is a correct translation and a useless one. Menu Pixie explains what each dish actually is — the main ingredients, how it's prepared — so you know what's arriving at your table. WORKS ON REAL-WORLD MENUS Handwritten chalkboards, stylized fonts, a laminated page shot at an angle in a dim room. If you can photograph it, Menu Pixie can read it. DIETARY AND ALLERGEN HINTS, HONESTLY FRAMED Dishes are tagged with auto-detected dietary info — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free — plus likely allergens and estimated calories. These are estimates meant to help you scan a menu faster, not a promise: always confirm with the staff. 26 LANGUAGES Read any menu in the language you choose — from English, Spanish, and Japanese to Croatian, Thai, and Ukrainian. 26 languages in all. NO SUBSCRIPTION Credits pay per menu: scan one, spend a credit, done. New users get free starter credits, and you're never charged for a scan that fails. HONEST PHOTOS Every image is labeled Real, Representative, or AI-generated — never passed off as the restaurant's own. Made for hungry travelers. Point, scan, order like a local.
