Field notes
The game links quiz answers to extra attempts, and each caught item is meant to open an ingredient card. Its settings offer calm mode, auto-reading, captions, high contrast, larger text, an Atkinson Hyperlegible font option, and reduced motion. Label Lens accepts a photo or pasted list, while the page says photos are sent to Gemini; location is optional for disposal tips.
