Field notes
Setup uses Android’s accessibility service to display a floating bubble over other apps. The page also describes a drag-to-select mode that can read text in images and PDF pages, with an option to copy the translation. Users can turn the overlay off in selected apps, including banking apps; the site says language models download to the device for offline use.
