FAQ
Vietnamese translator questions.
Does the camera read Vietnamese tone marks?
Yes. Vietnamese is written in the Latin alphabet, and the recognizer keeps diacritics, so bò and bỏ are not confused.
Does the Vietnamese translator work offline?

Yes. Import a photo from your library or point the camera at the menu and tap Freeze to read it line by line.
