## Description

For people who need help reading everyday text, Sensory Magnus - the app combines powerful zoom, intelligent text recognition, and read-aloud in a single, private, tool.

For people who need help seeing and reading everyday text, Magnus is the magnifier app that combines powerful zoom, intelligent text recognition, and read-aloud in a single, private, easy-to-use tool.

Everything you need to see clearly.
Magnification, colour enhancement, text recognition, and read-aloud — together in one simple, private, offline app.

15× Magnification
Smooth zoom from 1× to 15× with a precision vertical slider (0.25× steps). Zoom level is remembered between sessions.

Instant OCR
Pause the camera and text is extracted instantly. Accurate recognition with language correction, all on-device.

Read Aloud
Text-to-speech with word-by-word red underline highlighting. Play, pause, resume, or start from any cursor position. Uses your default device voice.

Vision Enhancement
Invert colours, 9 colour tints, up to 3× contrast, monochrome mode, and edge enhancement with line thickening.

Torch & Masking
Built-in flashlight for low-light reading. Masking mode darkens the top and bottom of the screen for focused line-by-line viewing.

Customisable Display
5 font sizes (20–40pt), 8 text colours, 8 background colours. All preferences persist automatically.

HOW IT WORKS
Point. Pause. Listen.
Three simple steps to read any text, anywhere.
1. Point
Aim your camera at the text. Zoom in and enhance with colour tools as needed.
2. Pause
Tap the pause button to freeze the frame. Text is recognised instantly using on-device OCR.
3. Listen
Press play and follow along as each word is highlighted with a red underline. Pause, resume, or start from any position.
4. Share
Share the captured image or recognised text to any app via the iOS Share Sheet.
