Translate Studio vs ZenNotes

Translate text and photos without internet. Translate Studio runs machine translation models directly on your device. Download a model once and it works offline. Thick walls, lower floors, planes, expensive roaming abroad: the connection drops exactly when you need to read a menu, a label, or a street sign. Translate Studio keeps working with a weak connection or none at all. PHOTO TRANSLATION Take a photo or import an image. Translate Studio recognizes the text, translates it locally, and places the translation back into the image while preserving its layout. - Menus, product labels, signs, and documents - Small print and curved surfaces such as jars and bottles - Switch between the original and translated views, and zoom in - Deep Scan for low-contrast or tightly packed text PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your text and images are processed on your device and are not sent to a translation server. Downloading a model is the only time the app uses the network. Some text does not belong in a web service at all: a medical result, a rental contract, a letter from a lawyer, a work document covered by an agreement, a message from your family. Translate Studio reads all of it without sending anything anywhere, whether or not you have a connection. - No account or sign-in - No ads - No subscriptions - No analytics - No tracking MORE LANGUAGES, MORE CHOICE Choose from several translation models with different language coverage, download sizes, speeds, and strengths. - More than 400 languages, depending on the model, including Catalan, Greek, Czech, Hungarian, Croatian and Bulgarian - Full sentences and long passages, not single words - Quality-by-language guidance for choosing a model - Download and keep only the models you need Many built-in offline translators cover a short list of major languages. Translate Studio is useful when the language you need is outside that list, or when the text is complex enough that a larger model helps. You can also compare how current open machine translation models handle different languages and kinds of content. SIMPLE OR ADVANCED Use the recommended settings for a straightforward translation experience. Enable Advanced Mode to choose additional model variants, pick a quantization that trades download size against quality, adjust text-recognition resolution, and read per-model notes before downloading. A translation model must be downloaded before offline translation is available. Download size, supported languages, speed, and translation quality vary by model, language pair, and device.

ZenNotes is a local-first markdown notes app for writing, organizing, and connecting ideas without giving up ownership of your files. YOUR NOTES, YOUR FILES Every note is a plain .md file in a vault you control. Start with storage on your iPhone or iPad, use iCloud Drive, or open a folder through the system document picker. Local and iCloud vaults work without an account. ZENNOTES CLOUD Connect an optional ZenNotes Cloud plan to: • Sync a vault across ZenNotes desktop and mobile • Sync notes and attachments • Create manual and automatic daily backups • Restore a full vault or a single note from a backup • Publish notes to the web and manage their public links Cloud never replaces the free local-first workflow. Use it only when you want hosted sync, backup, or publishing. WRITE IN MARKDOWN Use a focused editor with headings, lists, tasks, tables, code, links, wikilinks, tags, callouts, footnotes, and frontmatter. A mobile formatting bar keeps common actions close to the keyboard, and a pinch resizes the text to your eyes. RICH, OFFLINE PREVIEW Render KaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, JSXGraph, function plots, tables, callouts, and more directly on your device. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Pin your go-to notes and folders to the top, swipe rows to act on them, create and rename nested folders, browse tags, search the full vault, manage tasks, create periodic notes, and work with table databases stored as CSV. CAPTURE QUICKLY Create a quick note from the app or send text and links to ZenNotes from the iOS share sheet. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Start a note, open a recent one, or check today's tasks without opening the app. New Note also lives on the Lock Screen, and the widgets wear your theme. PRIVACY BY DEFAULT ZenNotes has no advertising or tracking. Local and iCloud notes stay in the storage you choose. When you enable ZenNotes Cloud, the account identity, connected-device information, and vault content needed for the Cloud features you use are sent to the ZenNotes service. Payment details are handled by Stripe. ZenNotes is open source. Your vault remains useful outside the app because it is made of ordinary files.
