Some target languages require a first-time model download, which needs network access.
History, favorites, folders, and related settings are mainly stored on your device.
Uses the device TTS engine first. Online speech may open a third-party page when needed.
Notes
Automatic translation still needs human judgment
Are recognition and translation always accurate?
No. Results can be affected by image clarity, lighting, fonts, layout, language, and model availability.
Can it work offline?
Downloaded translation models can reduce network dependency, but first-time model downloads and online speech may still require a connection.
Can I rely on it for important decisions?
Please manually review results for medical, legal, financial, government, contract, exam, immigration, or other high-stakes scenarios.
