About this app

Super Magnifier turns your camera into a magnifying glass with a flashlight, and into a text reader that reads small print aloud. Zoom in, freeze the picture to hold it still, and hear the words: medicine labels, menus, receipts, price tags, instructions, letters and books.

Made for people with low vision or visual impairment, for seniors, and for anyone whose reading glasses are in the other room. Large labelled buttons, a dark camera screen that is easy on the eyes, and nothing to set up before you start.

MAGNIFIER WITH FLASHLIGHT
• Zoom up to 8× with the zoom slider, a pinch or the volume keys (depending on your camera)
• Turn on the light to read in dim rooms, restaurants and cupboards
• Tap the picture to focus exactly where you are looking
• Freeze the view so shaky hands don't matter, then take a close look
• Exposure boost brightens dark or faded pages
• Flip to the front camera and use it as a magnifying mirror

READ TEXT ALOUD
• Freeze the view, or take a photo and tap Read text, to pick out the words (OCR on your device)
• Listen with text-to-speech at a speed that suits you
• See the text in large print, copy it or share it
• Text recognition reads printed English and other languages written in the Latin alphabet

VISION AID FILTERS
• Contrast, Grey, Invert and Amber filters help with glare, glossy paper and faint print (Android 12 and newer)
• Light, Dark or System theme

SAVE, EDIT AND SHARE
• Save a photo of anything you magnify
• Crop, rotate or draw on your photos
• Find photos, scanned documents and saved text in one gallery

MAGNIFIER PRO
• Live reading: text is read aloud as you move the camera across a page, no freezing needed
• Scan to PDF: a document scanner with automatic edge detection; scan several pages and save or share them as one PDF
• Read-aloud library: keep what you have read, search it and continue where you left off
• Hands-free stand mode: extra-large controls for reading with your device on a stand
• No ads

Choose a yearly plan with a free trial, a monthly plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase. You can also watch a short ad to try Pro features for 30 minutes. Bought Remove Ads in an earlier version? You already have Pro.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Magnifying, text recognition, reading aloud and scanning all happen on your device. Camera frames are used to read the page and then discarded. Your scans and saved text stay on your device until you share them.

Works on phones and tablets. Available in English, Bengali, Dutch, Filipino, German, Hindi, Khmer and Korean.

It's Great The Super Magnifier works perfectly but why do you have to keep bugging me with advertising as a message as my message noise keeps going off day and night and its a really annoying to think I have got a message just to find out that is only an advert by you that's why I have not given you 5-star.
