Open the Camera tab and point it at printed text. The app recognises the text in the frame and draws the translation over it, refreshing as you move. Tap the shutter or pick a gallery photo when you want a still result you can save or copy.

Open the Voice tab and choose the two languages. Whoever is speaking taps the button for their language and talks; the app shows the original and the translation as a chat bubble and reads the translation aloud for the other person.

PDF files up to 30 MB with selectable text. The translated document keeps the page size of the original but not its images or exact layout. You can preview it, share it, or save it to your Downloads folder.

Spoken output uses your device's text-to-speech voices. Check that media volume is up and that a voice for that language is installed in Android Settings → Text-to-speech output. Some languages have no voice on some devices.

Yes, for text, voice, photo and PDF translation. Live Camera downloads a language pack the first time you use a language pair and then runs on your device.
