Aedict OCR
Japanese text recognizer which scans documents and photos
Aedict OCR is retired and no longer on Google Play. To read Japanese text off a photo or the screen, use Google Lens or Google Translate's camera: they recognize text for free. Copy the recognized text and paste it into Aedict's search box, or let Aedict Reader Popup analyze it from the clipboard.
