The AI restaurant menu translator
Snap a foreign menu, read it in your language
Sitting in front of a menu you can't read? Take 1–5 photos and MenuMeld's AI reads the dishes, translates them into your language, and explains the unfamiliar ones — so you order with confidence instead of pointing and hoping. Built for travel and foreign menus, powered by Gemini with Google Search.
Snap the menu, get it in your language
No app-switching, no typing dish names into a translator one by one. Photograph the whole menu and the AI reads it page by page, then hands it back to you translated and explained.
1–5 photos at once
Capture a long or multi-page menu in up to five shots — appetizers, mains, drinks — and the AI reads them together.
Translated into your language
Dish names are presented in the language you set in the app, so a foreign menu reads like a local one.
Explains unfamiliar dishes
Never heard of it? The AI adds a short plain-language note on what the dish actually is and how it's typically served.
Gemini + Google Search
The menu-scan AI uses Gemini with Google Search, so explanations can draw on up-to-date info about regional dishes.
Made for travel
Decode street-food stalls, izakaya boards and tasting menus abroad — turn an intimidating menu into a clear list.
Part of menu-scan AI
Translation lives inside the same restaurant menu-scan feature that can also suggest healthier dishes from the menu.
From a wall of text to a menu you get
Translation is only half the battle — knowing what "andouillette" or "century egg" actually is matters just as much. MenuMeld turns the menu into something you can read, understand, and act on.
Plain-language descriptions
Each translated dish can come with a brief description of ingredients and cooking style, not just a literal word swap.
Spot what to watch for
Explanations help flag rich, spicy, raw or unusual items so you can avoid surprises at the table.
Pair it with healthy picks
Once the menu is readable, the same scan can recommend the healthiest dish plus alternatives for your needs.
Log it in a tap
Decided what to eat? Add the dish straight into your food diary so your travel meals are tracked too.
Regional & local cuisines
From dim sum to tapas to mezze, the AI handles dishes that don't have a tidy one-word translation.
No account needed to start
Core MenuMeld works offline without an account; menu translation simply uses your AI trials or AI Pro.
Straight facts: menu translation is an online AI feature — your 1–5 photos are analyzed in the cloud by Gemini with Google Search, so it needs a connection. Results come from a vision-and-language model, so stylized fonts, handwriting or dim lighting can affect accuracy; please double-check translations and any allergy-sensitive dishes before ordering.
About menu translation
Take 1 to 5 photos of the printed menu. MenuMeld sends them to its menu-scan AI (Gemini, with Google Search), which reads the dishes and translates them into your language, plus short explanations of unfamiliar dishes so you know what you're ordering.
It's built for travel and foreign menus, so it can read menus in many languages and present them in the language you set in the app. Because results come from a vision AI model, very stylized fonts, handwriting or poor lighting can reduce accuracy, so always double-check before ordering.
No. Menu scanning and translation are AI features that need an internet connection, because the photos are analyzed in the cloud by Gemini with Google Search. Logging meals and the nutrition dashboard work offline.
MenuMeld is free to download and includes a limited number of AI trials. Unlimited menu scanning and translation are part of the paid AI Pro plan at US$9.99/month, which includes all AI features.
