Google Translate Lens alternatives [Android]? (lemmy.ml)

Do free alternatives for Google Translate Lens (translating photos / live text translation via camera) exist? I tried Microsoft's, but hated it.

Edit:

Note: DeepL rate limited me and it said I need to pay premium to use it more. I didn't even use it frequently. :/

I use Papago on iOS. It looks to be available on Android, too.

Im not sure if I would trust this company. It looks like korean google. It has its own browser, maps, payments, translate, calendar, mail, games, etc.

I’m well aware of how big a company NAVER is. Unfortunately where I live, their main app, Line, is basically a social requirement. It is what it is. The op asked for an alternative to google lens, not for a trustworthy company.

I use Yandex translate. No account needed and has the features you require.
