The app got rejected - not enough functionality yet. Time to rethink, rebuild, and come back stronger. See you soon. 🚀

I used CIColorControls to boost contrast and improve text legibility. Prioritized speed (esp. on-device), so I skipped heavier steps like binarization, noise reduction, sharpening, and skew correction to keep preprocessing minimal but effective.

- OCR from frames: Vision
- Translation: Google ML Kit, runtime-downloaded models
- UI: Pure SwiftUI, with minimal UIKit where needed
