Hello, Product Hunt! I'm DoubleZ Have you ever walked into a Chinese restaurant, faced with a menu full of Chinese characters, and had no idea what to order? Or perhaps you ordered a dish, only to find it wasn't what you expected at all? This is a common experience for many of my foreign friends. So, I developed ReadMenuAI - a tool that uses AI to help you "understand" Chinese menus. Chinese menus are a complex data source: artistic fonts, frequent handwritten characters, inconsistent typography, and poetic, non-literally translated dish names (e.g., "夫妻肺片" - a dish with spicy beef and offal). Simple translation is far from enough; users need visual context. 🍜 Main Product Functions Simply put, you upload a photo of a Chinese menu, and it will: - ✅ Recognize all dish names and prices - 🌍 Translate into English (or other languages) - 🖼️ Generate corresponding food images for dishes without pictures - 💰 Convert to your familiar currency based on the real-time exchange rate - 🗣️ Provide pronunciation playback, allergen alerts, and a shopping cart From "unintelligible" to "understandable," and then to "visible," ReadMenuAI aims to solve not only translation problems but also the information asymmetry problem in cross-cultural dining experiences. 🌟 From Idea to Launch: The Challenge of a One-Person AI Team This is my second project, a complete AI tool with login, payment, large model interfaces, and a points-based consumption system, completed entirely in my spare time. Currently, it is available in twelve languages and has received positive feedback from some users. We are actively promoting it! Welcome everyone to try it. Technology changes experiences, experiences connect cultures. Let's work together to make the world a little more "appetizing".
