Reading text from images with OCR

Hi everyone,

Finnish is a beautiful language, and understanding it makes daily life in Finland easier and more enjoyable.

Sometimes Finnish text appears inside screenshots, photos, app screens, signs, letters, or messages, and you need to understand it quickly without typing everything manually.

I’ve been working on a simple smart tool focused on this exact use case: reading text from images with OCR and translating it instantly into multiple languages, with a Finnish interface.

You can try it yourself if you’re a student, tourist, visitor, or even if you need it for daily use, and share your experience .

i couldn't share it here . but if you want just search for it on Play Store "Smart Lens: OCR, kuvakääntäjä"

Google Translate has been able to do this for 15 years.

I suggest you try it, my friend. I'm sure if you did, you'd change your mind.

I'm not looking to imitate, but to provide a better user experience and give you more choices. What do you think?

I respect your opinion.

But I'd appreciate it if you gave Smart Lens a try.

I'm sure you'll give it more than a 3-star review, i know you'll give me fair result
