LocaLens — Terms of Use

Last updated: September 30, 2026

By installing or using LocaLens ("the app") you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

What LocaLens is

LocaLens translates text in photos, typed text and live conversation using machine-learning models that run on your device. It is provided free of charge and shows no ads (see the Privacy Policy).

Translations can be wrong

Machine translation, text recognition and speech recognition make mistakes: words can be misheard or misread, and meaning, tone or names can be translated incorrectly or left out.
Do not rely on LocaLens where a mistake could cause harm — for example medical instructions, dosages, allergy or safety information, legal, financial or official documents, or emergencies. Use a qualified human translator or interpreter for those.
You are responsible for how you use translations and for checking anything important.

Your use of the app

Use the app lawfully and respect other people's privacy — for example, ask before translating a conversation with someone, where the law requires it.
Don't use the app to harass, deceive or harm anyone.
Don't copy, extract, reverse-engineer or redistribute the app or the LocaLens models it downloads (including LocaLens' own fine-tuned translation models), except where the law explicitly allows it. Third-party models remain available under their own licenses, listed below.
