Original release notes

Users on RedNote and Douyin asked: Can it read product labels? Store shelves? German? And "I know a little Korean, so I'd rather see the original side by side."
We listened!
After lots of research and late-night testing, the all-new version is here!

Products, shelves, signs and documents: the everyday things you need to read when traveling are now covered.

New Compare view: see translations right on the original, so you always know what you're looking at.

German, Russian, Persian and many more languages are now supported.

Plus "Show to staff" for menus. Order with ease even if you don't speak a word of the language ！

Happy travels this holiday season!
