Everything within reach of one thumb. • The contrast and colour filter moved down into the main control bar, beside the light, the shutter and freeze. For reading, the filter is as important as the light — it shouldn't have been in a corner. • The text controls moved off the right edge, so the zoom slider finally has that edge to itself. No more reaching past three buttons to change the zoom. Nothing was removed, and nothing here has ever needed a network.

Zoom into a frozen frame: after freezing the image, use the slider to magnify it up to 3x while you read. Freeze tiny print — like a medicine label — and read it at your own pace. Also added an info button right on the camera screen.

Arabic is now supported, with full right-to-left layout. This one came from a user request — thank you. If something in your language looks wrong, tell us from the "Built with you" card and we read every message.

Freeze the picture. Tap once and the magnified image holds still — bring the phone closer to your eyes, or set it down, and read at your own pace. Tap again for live. Capturing while frozen now saves exactly the scene you were looking at. Screen filters. One tap cycles Normal, Grey, Contrast and Invert. Cut glare on shiny paper, read in dim light, or switch to white-on-black if that suits your eyes better. Opens instantly. The screen is there the moment you tap the icon — no spinner while the camera wakes up. The OFFLINE badge now sits on the main screen, so you can see at a glance that nothing is leaving your phone. Check it in airplane mode. No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking.

New: read text aloud from the camera (text-to-speech), plus an easier-to-find flashlight.

Easier to switch the OCR language, plus a hint when text can't be read so you can change it.

Built with you: tap “Send an idea” in the app to shape what comes next — we read and reply to every review. Plus small fixes and polish.

Reliability fixes so the core feature works smoothly. Thanks for the feedback!
