## Description

BigWord Magnifier turns your iPhone or iPad into a powerful reading aid. Point your camera at any small text — a menu, a prescription label, a stamp, a tag, a foreign word — and BigWord makes it BIG.

Tap any word to magnify it across your entire screen. Tap again to hear it spoken aloud in a clear, natural voice. No fiddling with pinch-to-zoom. No squinting. Just point, tap, read.

— PERFECT FOR —

Low-vision and aging eyes
Seniors who can't read fine print anymore
Language learners decoding signs and menus abroad
Anyone tired of squinting at tiny labels

— HOW IT WORKS —

1. Open BigWord Magnifier. Point your camera at the text.
2. Real-time text recognition highlights every word it sees.
3. Tap any word — it fills your screen, BIG.
4. Tap the speaker icon to hear it pronounced clearly.
5. Tap anywhere to go back and read more.

That's it. No tutorials. No accounts. No setup.

— WHY I MADE BIGWORD MAGNIFIER —

Phones already have powerful cameras and brilliant screens. They should be the world's best magnifying glasses. Most apps overcomplicate it — accounts, ads, in-app purchases, dark patterns.

BigWord Magnifier does one thing well. Point. Tap. Read. That's the whole product.

If something doesn't work, please email support and tell me.
