Take a picture. Read it in your language.

Rasterdeck Translator translates the photos you take: snap a menu, sign, label or document and every line appears below the picture, translated next to the original, across 40 languages. The text recognition (OCR) runs on your phone, so it works with no internet at all.

Menus
Order what you actually want. Scan the whole menu and read every dish in your language.
Street signs & transit
Directions, station names, warnings — snap a photo and read them, even with no data plan.
Product labels
Ingredients, dosage, allergens, care instructions — know what you're buying.
Documents & forms
Read a contract, a notice, or a form before you sign it, without handing it to a stranger.
