MenuGuide

Point your phone at a menu and read it in your language. MenuGuide is an AI menu translator that scans a photo of a menu, translates the dishes, flags allergens and converts prices into your currency.

It makes sense for travelers eating somewhere the language is unfamiliar, and it also covers dietary worries, since allergen detection is part of the free plan.

The free Explorer plan costs nothing and gives you 3 menu scans a day, with 8 meals extracted per scan.

It includes AI translation, currency conversion, allergen detection, detailed dish insights and Order speak, which uses text-to-speech so you can say what you want to order.

Premium food photos are not included at that level.

Two paid plans remove the limits.

Globetrotter is $4.99 a week after a 7-day free trial.

Epicurean is $9.99 a month.

Both give unlimited scans, every meal on the menu extracted, enhanced image recognition, premium food photos, nutritional information, order history and favorites, and priority support.

The free cap of 8 meals per scan is the main catch if you face long menus.
