An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Once a strong OCR translator with a unique feature: translated text was overlaid directly onto the image, preserving visual context. After updates that feature was removed, and the app became a generic scan-and-translate tool with worse stability.

What users experience

1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

This app looked at an old Russian church document that had both printed and scripted Russian language. Most of what it saw it translated however there were names on the document and those of course were left in Russian
