This app is a small jewel:

  • offline translation thanks to firefox translation engine
  • OCR on images with tessercat
  • overlay of translated text on the original image -> awesome!

It鈥檚 still a young app, but it鈥檚 really important to go towards de-googling!

    Small correction to the title: Lens is a lot broader than OCR translation. It also does landmark and plant identification, QR code reading, and even things like creating calendar events from tickets.

    A FOSS tool that does one of these tasks is great, but it鈥檚 a little misleading to present it as a replacement for Lens as a whole.

        I didn鈥檛 know about the calendar thing either tbh. I鈥檝e mostly used it to try to find the original source of a meme or movie still. I swear it鈥檚 gotten worse at that over time though.
