AsciiCam

Dozing Cat Software

About this app

AsciiCam generates ASCII images in real time from whatever your camera is pointing at. Choose from black and white, primary colors, or full colors, take pictures, and share them as images or HTML. You can also create ASCII versions of pictures in your gallery, and optionally have ASCII versions automatically generated every time you take a picture with the standard camera app.

AsciiCam is completely free and open source.

Ratings and reviews

It's alright, but not true ASCII art. The photos in the description are as promised, so if you like those, then go for it. The icon with the lines is not realistic, so if you like those, then leave this app aside.

This app is way better that its successor, which is the Vector Camera since the modded pictures are of low quality and doesn't even have the option to move/access it from the app's own storage since you'll need to share it first to an external device then send it back to yourself.

pretty good i like that you can edit the characters used and that it saves the picture in a text file, all it needs is some more features like custom colours, ability to change the size of the characters ans ability to record video
