Taobao, Alipay, Ctrip, DiDi, WeChat mini programs. Drag the lens over the part you cannot read, double-tap, and it is in English.
Get early accessAndroid 8.0 and up. No account. Free while in testing.
You are booking a train, paying a bill, or checking whether a hotel takes foreign cards. The button you need is four characters long, and your phone's translator cannot see it, because it is inside another app.
Take one, switch apps, crop, wait, switch back, and hope the screen has not moved on.
It points at the world, not at the phone in your hand.
Chinese shopping apps put whole product descriptions inside images, where ordinary translation never reaches.
Six steps, and the sixth is putting it away.
Allow screen sharing once. Android asks every time the lens starts fresh.
AhaRoam sits on top of whatever you are already using.
A small blue circle. Move it, resize it, put it where you are stuck.
The English appears in place, over the original, keeping the layout.
Back to the Chinese, in case you want to compare or copy a name.
Closes the lens and stops screen sharing. Just stepping away? Tap Hide on the notification instead, and Resume brings it straight back.
Not a dictionary. A translator that understands it is looking at an interface.
Reads the picture-based product descriptions Chinese shopping apps are full of.
Works inside WeChat and Alipay mini apps, where most translators stop.
Reads reviews and chats the way a person would, not word by word.
Screens you have seen before come back with no wait at all.
18 languages, including English, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, German, French, Arabic and Turkish.

It reads only what is inside the lens box you position. That text is sent to our server to be translated. Images never leave your phone. Keep the box away from passwords and card numbers.
Any Android app. It reads the screen itself, so it does not matter whether the text is a button, a photo, or a mini program inside WeChat or Alipay.
No. There is no sign-up and nothing to log into.
Screens you have already translated come back instantly with no connection. New text needs the internet.
The lens only reads the screen at the moment you double-tap. Between taps it does nothing.
Free during the closed test. Pricing after that has not been set.
