Get an Answer from a Photo or Screenshot
Upload a photo of a question, a screenshot, or a short video or audio clip, ask what you want to know, and read the answer in the chat. It is built for the things a general chatbot treats as an afterthought: a homework page, a scanned document, a chart, or an app screen you do not understand.
The chat keeps the image open, so a first question like “what does this mean” can be followed by “show me the next step” without uploading again. The first 2 answers need no signup.
What you get:
- Answers to questions about photos, screenshots, and short video or audio clips
- Reads printed text, handwriting, math, tables, and diagrams, and explains them rather than only extracting the text
- Works in 100+ languages
- Follow-up questions in the same chat, no re-upload needed
- Uploads are encrypted in transit and not used to train AI models
Results depend on the image. A clear, well-lit photo or a full-resolution screenshot reads reliably; a blurry photo or a cropped screenshot loses detail the AI needs.
How to Get an Answer
- Add your image: upload a photo, drop a screenshot, take a picture on your phone, or capture your screen directly from the browser.
- Ask your question: type what you want to know in the chat panel next to the image.
- Read the answer, then ask a follow-up: the reply comes back in plain English, and the chat keeps the same image open for your next question.
Clear text and good lighting matter more than the question itself. A photo taken straight-on under normal light reads better than one taken at an angle or in low light. See how we measure accuracy for the methodology behind ScreenApp’s language and transcription figures.

Who Uses the AI Answer Generator
Students photograph a textbook page or a worksheet and ask for a worked explanation instead of just an answer. It reads math notation, diagrams, and handwritten working, so a photo of question four becomes a step-by-step walkthrough to check against your own answer.
Teachers screenshot a student’s submitted work or a tricky diagram and ask for a plain explanation to use when marking or preparing a response.
Professionals screenshot a contract clause, an invoice, a chart, or a dashboard and ask what it says or what the numbers mean, useful when the source is a scan or an image and copy-paste is not an option.
Researchers photograph pages from a paper or a source that is not digitised and ask for the content or a translation, without retyping the text.
Language learners photograph a sign, a menu, or a page of text and ask for an explanation or a translation in 100+ languages.
Anyone stuck on a screen pastes a screenshot of an error message or a settings page and asks what to do next, with the answer pointing at what it read from the image.
