## Description

Lens - Photo Scan, Identifier is a versatile mobile app that enhances scanning and identification. Free features let you scan objects to get general information (with a two-scan limit per category) and provide category-specific insights for plants, pets, coins, and insects. It also supports image-based text translation with auto or manual language selection, product scanning for shopping resources, and document scanning for easy management.

The built-in PDF editor enables editing, image insertion, cropping, signing, text overlay, OCR, page reordering, and export in multiple formats. A history and favorites system helps you revisit results, and AI chats offer document context or general image processing. Upgrading adds unlimited scans, translations, product scans, and document conversions (PDF, PNG, DOC), along with unlimited AI chat access in the PDF editor and main app. Note: Lens is independent of Google; manage subscriptions via iTunes and review Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
