## Key Features
1. Instant Text Capture with Your Camera (OCR)
Simply point your camera at any text you want to read. No complicated steps needed. Our app intelligently detects the text area in your photo, automatically crops it, and instantly converts it into digital text using advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Forget tedious typing; just snap a picture of a menu, a manual, or a newspaper article, and it’s ready to be read aloud.
2. See and Hear with Synchronized Highlighting
This is the heart of Story Camera! As the app reads the text aloud, each word is highlighted in yellow in real-time. This synchronization of audio and visual cues makes it incredibly easy to follow along, helping to improve focus and comprehension. This feature is especially beneficial for individuals with dyslexia, significantly reducing the cognitive load of reading.
3. Simple Playback Controls
You're in full control. With large, intuitive buttons, you can start, stop, and resume playback at your own pace. Press "Start Talking!" to begin, "Stop!" to pause, and "Continue" to pick up right where you left off. Take your time to listen and understand.
4. Multi-Language Support
Story Camera speaks more than one language! It supports text reading in Japanese, English (US), Korean, and Chinese. It's the perfect tool for language learners who want to hear the correct pronunciation of foreign texts or for reading books from around the world.
5. Kid-Friendly & Simple UI
Designed for simplicity, our app features large, colorful, icon-based buttons that are easy for children to understand and use. There are no complex menus or settings. Just open the app and start your reading adventure.
6. Works Offline & Protects Your Privacy
Your privacy is our top priority. All processing—from taking a photo to recognizing text and generating speech—happens entirely on your device. Your photos and text data are never uploaded to any server or shared with anyone. You can use the app with complete peace of mind, anytime, anywhere, even without an internet connection.
