Read a menu by voice

Ask for the dish you want before taking a photo. Lumyeye Pro captures the menu, reads its visible text with OCR and answers your question directly, without reading the entire menu aloud.

Ask the menu a specific question

Say what you want to know while pointing the camera at the menu. Lumyeye Pro takes a photo, extracts the legible text with OCR and answers that question first. You do not have to listen to a description of the whole menu to find one dish.

For example, ask “Is there an Italian dish?” The answer can identify an Italian option shown on the menu and a dessert such as tiramisu if it appears there. Ask “Is there anything else?” to continue exploring the same captured menu. This is an illustrative example, not a word-for-word transcript of the video.

You can also ask “Are there vegan options?”, “Is there fish?”, “Is there a dish without mushrooms?”, “What are today’s specials?” or “Which desserts cost less than $12?” Lumyeye Pro can answer from items, ingredients and prices that are actually legible in the photo. Take another photo if a page, price or ingredient list is out of frame.

For an allergy, use the answer to find possible choices, then confirm ingredients, preparation and cross-contact directly with restaurant staff. A menu may omit allergens or kitchen details; Lumyeye Pro cannot certify that a dish is safe.

Watch the English menu demonstration above. The examples here also show other questions you can ask; they are not all shown in the recording.

How to use it

From question to answer

  1. Ask first

    Say “Is there an Italian dish?” or ask for a price, ingredient or dietary option.

  2. Capture the menu

    Lumyeye Pro takes a photo and reads the visible menu text with OCR.

  3. Ask a follow-up

    Ask “Anything else?” or narrow your choice without photographing the same page again.

Questions about reading a menu

Does Lumyeye Pro read the whole menu first?

No. Ask a targeted question before the photo, and the answer focuses on relevant text in the captured menu. You can ask for a broader reading if you want one.

Can it filter by price or food preference?

Yes, when prices and descriptions are visible. Ask for vegan dishes, fish, today’s specials or desserts under $12, for example.

Can it tell me a dish is safe for my allergy?

It can report relevant menu text, but menus may omit ingredients and cross-contact. Confirm every allergy requirement with restaurant staff before ordering.

Is the English video available?

Yes. Play the English demonstration at the top of this page, or open its dedicated video page.
