Frequently Asked Questions

Is MenuMiru free? Yes. MenuMiru is free to download and use.

Do I need an internet connection? Yes. MenuMiru needs an internet connection to translate menus and load dish information.

The scan did not work or the translation looks wrong. What can I do? Make sure the menu is well lit and in focus, and that the text is fully inside the frame. Try scanning again from a slightly different angle. If a translation still looks off, you can switch between the original text and the translation on the menu screen.

The camera will not open. Open your iPhone Settings, find MenuMiru, and make sure Camera access is turned on.
