ScanLingo: Learn by Reading · Support

ScanLingo · One-time Plus purchase

ScanLingo Plus is an optional non-consumable in-app purchase, not an auto-renewing subscription. The developer-reported US price is USD 9.90; the localized price and included entitlements shown by Apple at purchase control. Apple processes the purchase record. After reinstalling, use Restore Purchases in the app to verify an existing Plus purchase. Deleting the app or local study content does not delete the Apple purchase record.

Help with OCR, local learning records, one-time Plus purchases and Restore Purchases.

  1. Contact support

    Operator: 戚蕴杰, an individual developer in the People's Republic of China.

    Describe the device model, iOS version, app feature, steps leading to the issue, and any error shown on screen. We will respond within a reasonable scope, but do not promise an immediate or fixed response time.

  2. Send a support request safely

    You may include the approximate time, reproducible steps, a non-sensitive screenshot, and incomplete purchase identifiers supplied by Apple.

    Redact identity documents, complete payment-card numbers, passwords, health information, other people's data, and scanned or learning content unrelated to the issue.

  3. Camera, photos, microphone, and speech permissions

    If capture does not work, check Camera access in iOS Settings and confirm that Screen Time or device-management restrictions are not blocking it.

    If import does not work, check the app's photo access. When iOS offers limited access, confirm that the target image is selected.

    Speech features require microphone or speech-recognition access. If access is enabled but the feature still fails, check the language, downloaded system resources, and network conditions.

    Object vocabulary uses the bundled OpenMMLab RTMDet-s FP16 Core ML model to analyze an image you choose on the device. No first-use model download confirmation is required; declining camera or photo access only affects features that need that permission.

  4. One-time Plus purchase

    ScanLingo Plus is an optional non-consumable in-app purchase, not an auto-renewing subscription. The developer-reported US price is USD 9.90; the localized price and included entitlements shown by Apple at purchase control.

    Apple processes the purchase record. After reinstalling, use Restore Purchases in the app to verify an existing Plus purchase. Deleting the app or local study content does not delete the Apple purchase record.

    The current product catalog is Free: 1 learner and up to 20 shared review cards in total; Plus: up to 5 learners and unlimited shared review cards. The purchase sheet controls the current entitlement.

  5. Delete local data

    Delete individual sentence cards, bookshelves, or other manageable items in the app. To clear all local app data, remove the app through iOS. Preserve anything you need before proceeding.

    Deleting local content is generally irreversible. Restore Purchases restores an entitlement, not deleted learning data. Apple retains its purchase records.

    The RTMDet-s FP16 model is delivered with the app resources. A normal app update may replace the model version, while Clear local learning data does not remove the model resource; deleting the app removes the app and its resources through iOS.

  6. Account deletion

    The current release does not create a developer account, so there is no remote ScanLingo account for us to delete. Apple manages your Apple Account.

    If an optional remote account is introduced later, we will update the privacy notice before launch and provide an account-deletion path required by applicable law.

Photo translation and contextual review: FAQ

These answers describe the current ScanLingo workflow for personal reading and language study.

What reading material is photo translation suitable for?
Use the camera or choose an image from the system photo library. You can review the OCR result before translating or organizing it.
Can I correct text after image OCR?
Lighting, clarity, layout, and language affect OCR accuracy. Check the result against the original before relying on it.
Why connect sentence cards to a book and page?
Bind recognised material to a book and page number, organise it as sentence cards, and return to that context while reviewing local learning progress and reports.
Are my study images and cards uploaded to ScanLingo servers?
Images, OCR text, translations, and learning content are processed and stored on the device by default. Speech-input results are stored on the device by default; the operator does not retain microphone audio.
