Just type, point, and see results instantly. You can even maintain a list of words you commonly search for. For example: a list of food items that can cause allergies. Two ways to search: 1. Live Camera — Hold your phone over any printed or on-screen text and start typing. Matching words are highlighted with a yellow overlay in real time as the camera reads the scene. Great for skimming long documents, finding a name in a printed list, or locating a word on a busy sign. 2. Photo Mode — Pick any image from your photo library or capture a still snapshot from the camera. Text Huntr analyzes the image and highlights every match. Zoom in, pan around, and save the annotated image with highlights directly to your Photos. - 100% On-Device. 100% Private.
