## Description

Tap any sentence on a photographed page to see its translation. Chat about grammar, vocabulary, or context for that exact sentence.

Yomibuddy turns any printed page in front of you into a tappable, translatable, AI-assisted reading experience.

Photograph a page from a book, a comic, a magazine, or a sign. Yomibuddy uses Google Cloud Vision to detect every sentence on the page — including vertical Japanese (tategaki), handwritten fonts, and dense textbook layouts with furigana. Each sentence becomes a tappable region on the photo.

Tap a sentence to instantly see its translation in your target language. Need more help? Open a chat thread tied to that exact sentence and ask anything — grammar breakdowns, alternate translations, cultural context, vocabulary, kanji readings. Each sentence keeps its own chat history.

Highlights:

• On-photo translation overlay — tap any sentence on the original page.
• Powered by Google Cloud Vision OCR + your choice of frontier LLM (Gemini, Claude, or GPT) for translation and chat.
• Built-in trial keys so you can start immediately, no setup required.
• 20-page rolling library — captured pages and chat threads persist locally on your device.
• Vertical Japanese, handwritten typography, picture books, and densely typeset textbook pages all work.
• Pre-translates the whole page on capture so tapping a sentence is instant.

Designed for language learners reading native-language content who want help without losing the joy of reading the original.
