About Scan text

This feature scans text in photos so that it can be copied and shared (e.g. in chats, in Notes).

You can also translate scanned text. Use the instant translation feature to translate the text directly on an image.

To scan text, send the image or screenshot with the text you want to scan in a chat, and then use one of the methods below:

• Right-click the image with the text that you want to scan, then select Scan text.

• Click "[A]" (the Scan text icon) in the "Capture screen" editing menu.

• Click "[A]" (the Scan text icon) at the bottom right of the image viewer.

To translate text, click Scan text or "[A]" (the Scan text icon) and follow the steps below:

1. Select the original language from the left drop-down box, and the target language from the drop-down box on the right.

2. Click Translate.

To share the text in other chats or in Notes, click the Forward icon at the bottom of the screen.

If you want to replace the writing in an image with translated text, use the instant translation feature.

To use instant translation:

1. Select the original language from the left drop-down box, and the target language from the drop-down box on the right.

2. Turn Instant translation ON.

You can also copy or download the image with the instant translation applied using the icons at the bottom of the screen.

Note: If you're using the feature for the first time, the original and target languages will automatically be selected based on the language in the image and the language that you have set on LINE for PC. You can change the original and target languages as needed before making a translation.

The following languages can be set for translation.

Original languages: Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), English, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, and Thai

Note: We plan to make other languages available in the future.

Target languages: Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), English, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Myanmar language, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese

Note: Depending on the original language in the image, the number of translatable languages may differ.
