What is a visual menu?

A visual menu shows every dish with an AI-generated photo, a translation, and a short description, so you can see what you are ordering before it arrives.

How is SeEat different from Google Translate or Google Lens?

Google Translate and Lens overlay translated text on the menu. SeEat goes further: for each dish it adds an AI-generated photo and a short description of what the dish is, so you can decide what to order instead of just reading the words.

Can SeEat read a handwritten or photographed menu?

Yes. Snap a photo of a printed, handwritten, or digital menu — SeEat extracts the dishes even from stylized or handwritten text that plain OCR often misses.

Do I need an account?

No. You can photograph a menu and create a visual menu without signing up. An account lets you save your history across devices.

Yes — every visitor gets free creations. Premium removes the limit for heavy users.

Which one should you use?

If you only need the literal words translated, Google Translate or Google Lens is free and instant — use them.
If you just want AI images of each dish, MenuGen (Andrej Karpathy’s app) does that — SeEat adds translation, descriptions and dietary info on top.
If you want to see what a dish looks like and understand what is in it before ordering, use SeEat.
