Magnify: Magnifier & Reader

Magnify turns your phone into a powerful magnifying glass and reading assistant. Point the camera at any small print — menus, labels, letters, receipts, medicine bottles, price tags — zoom in instantly and have it read aloud to you.

No ads. No subscription. All features free — with an optional purchase if you'd like to support the app.

Read anything, anywhere

Point your camera and enlarge text instantly. Use the on-screen slider for precise one-handed control, or pinch to zoom from fine detail to a wider view.

Read text aloud (OCR + text-to-speech)

Capture text from the camera image and see it displayed in clear, large text with font size and spacing to suit you. Then let Magnify read it back to you. Play, pause, and replay at a speed that suits you. Great for following instructions while your hands are busy.

Works fully offline

OCR and text-to-speech run entirely on your device. No internet connection needed, ever. Your text is never uploaded or stored anywhere.

Designed for real life

Large controls, one-handed operation, high-contrast buttons, built-in torch, and brightness controls help you read comfortably in any situation — bright sunlight, dim restaurants, or anywhere in between.

Designed for people with low vision

Built for people with macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and anyone who struggles with small print. Full TalkBack and screen reader support included.
