Made for the moment you need it
Menus, street signs, ingredient lists, bills, a note from the landlord, the back of a medicine box. If it is written down, point at it and read the answer. Nothing to install: Glance runs in Safari or Chrome on iPhone and Android.
Fast. Really fast.
The translation starts appearing over the photo the moment you take it, each line on top of the original words. No waiting for an upload, no spinning wheel.
Tap a line, hear it said
Every line of the translation is tappable: the original script, a spelling you can read out, and a speaker that says it in the right language. Order the dish the way it is written.
Small print, read large
Ingredient lists and product labels in tiny type, in a language you cannot read: Glance pulls out every line, points out gluten sources in the ingredients, and a pinch zooms the photo so you can check what is in it before you buy.
Bills that add themselves up
Photograph a receipt and Glance reads each line and its amount, adds them up, and tells you whether they match the printed total, before you pay.
The point, in one line
On a sign, a label or a notice, Glance adds a one-line summary of what matters: opening hours, prices, rules, dates, which way to go.
Your last five, on your phone
Recent translations stay on your phone, so you can reopen a menu or a label without translating it again. Nothing you photograph is kept on our servers.
How it works
Open the camera
Tap once. Add Glance to your home screen and the icon opens straight into the camera.
Frame the text
Put the menu, sign, or label inside the corners and take the photo.
Read it
The translation appears over the photo. Tap a line to hear it, save the photo, copy the text, or take the next one.
Only the text inside the frame gets translated, so you can skip the parts you do not need. Pinch to zoom when the print is small.
What Glance can read
Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and English, translated into English or Thai. Prices and Thai numerals come out as figures, dates land in your calendar, and street and temple names stay the way you would say them to a taxi driver: Soi Sukhumvit 24, Wat Pho. Handwriting and unusual fonts work too, as long as you can see them clearly in the photo.
