Fix a wrong language detection

Sometimes SnapVerbo guesses the source language wrong (e.g. it reads Italian as Spanish), or your default target language isn’t what you want for this particular photo. Both are easy to override.

Change the source language

After you’ve taken or imported a photo, on the OCR result screen:

  1. Look at the AppBar at the top. The page title shows what SnapVerbo currently thinks the source language is (e.g. “Spanish” — or “Auto” while it’s still detecting).
  2. Tap the globe icon (🌐) in the AppBar. The tooltip reads “Source: …”.
  3. Pick the correct language from the list. Recently-used languages appear at the top.
  4. SnapVerbo re-runs translation with the new language. The translation chips refresh.

Pick Auto if you want SnapVerbo to detect the language for future photos.

Change the target language

By default, translations come back in the language you set in Settings → Default target language. To override it for this one photo:

  1. In the AppBar, tap the More options icon (⋮).
  2. From the popup, tap the translate icon (the one with the tooltip “Target: …”).
  3. Pick the target language you want.
  4. Translations on this photo refresh into that language.

The default target language doesn’t change — only this photo is overridden.

Rotate a sideways photo

If the photo came in sideways and the text recognition struggled:

  1. In the AppBar, tap More options (⋮).
  2. Tap Rotate left or Rotate right (the curved-arrow icons).
  3. The image rotates 90° and SnapVerbo re-runs text recognition on the new orientation.

You can rotate as many times as you need.

Other things in the More-options menu

While you’re in there, two more controls live in the same popup:

  • Model status (ⓘ) — tells you whether the current translation is using an offline model or the online service.
  • The popup is also where you’d open the target language picker (above) and rotate (above).
