How it works

Three steps to turn everyday life into a lesson

  1. 1

    Snap

    A kitchen, a desk, a breakfast table, a supermarket shelf — the more things, the better.

  2. 2

    Tap

    Every object gets its word. Tap to hear it with its reading and meaning.

  3. 3

    Say it

    Five sentences at your level and a short dialogue to read along with.

Features

One photo, much more than words

Words right on your photo

No dictionary, no typing. Nouns come with their articles in German, French, Spanish and Italian; Japanese with kana; Chinese with Zhuyin and Pinyin.

  • Tap to hear

    Every word and sentence can be read aloud, slowly too. Play-all lights up what’s being read.

  • A two-person dialogue

    A real conversation for the scene in your photo, read by two voices.

  • Related words

    Snap a cup and get saucer, spoon and stir. Keep the ones you like.

  • Your word map

    Photos sorted by scene — kitchen, desk, café and more — one notebook per language pair.

5 levels

Same coffee, from first words to fluent

CEFR for English, French, German, Spanish and Italian; JLPT for Japanese; TOPIK for Korean; TOCFL for Chinese. Switch any time and the sentences are rewritten.

No account. Your photos stay yours.

Photos are analyzed with Apple’s Private Cloud Compute: used only for that request, never stored, and not accessible to Apple. Your word map stays on your device; the developer runs no servers and never receives your photos.

Requirements

An iPhone or iPad that supports Apple Intelligence, running iOS 27 / iPadOS 27 or later, with Apple Intelligence turned on (for example iPhone 15 Pro or later).

FAQ

Is it free?

Yes — download it free and use every feature. Full-screen ads appear at natural breaks; a one-time US$0.99 purchase removes them for good.

Why can’t my phone analyze photos?

SnapSay uses Apple Intelligence. Check that your device supports it, runs iOS 27 or later, and has it turned on in Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri.

The voice sounds robotic. What can I do?

In Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content > Voices, download a Premium or Enhanced voice for the language. SnapSay uses it automatically.

I switched languages. Where are my photos?

Still there. Each pair of your language and the language you learn has its own word map; switch at the bottom of the home screen.
