What It Does
Built for food decisions, not just raw translation.
The app combines barcode lookup, OCR, ingredient analysis, bilingual explanations, and user-specific preferences so unfamiliar labels become practical decisions.
Bilingual explanations
Ingredient summaries are presented in English and the user's preferred language to reduce guesswork while shopping abroad.
Dietary-fit layers
Designed to support halal-first checks today, with additional vegetarian and vegan interpretation paths in the app logic.
Private decision memory
Past scans, preferences, and saved outcomes are kept locally so repeated purchases become easier and faster over time.
How It Works
A clearer decision pipeline in four steps.
Capture
Take a photo of the ingredient label or point the camera at the barcode.
Interpret
The app checks barcode sources first, then falls back to OCR and structured ingredient parsing.
Explain
Flagged ingredients are translated and explained in plain language with dietary context.
Remember
Your scan results and preferences stay available locally so future decisions get easier.
Privacy
Local-first by default, explicit about cloud processing when used.
The app stores user history and preferences locally, while OCR and AI explanation features can send image or text payloads to third-party services only to complete a scan.
Privacy highlights
- Scan history, favorites, and settings are kept on-device.
- Camera access is used so users can scan ingredient labels and barcodes.
- OCR and translation/explanation requests may use third-party APIs during active scans.
- The full policy explains what is stored locally and what is processed transiently.
