### **LocateY: Your Vision Assistant**
Struggling to read labels while shopping? LocateY is designed to help individuals with low vision locate and identify text, price tags, and product labels with ease and precision.
**What's New in v0.9: Intelligent Auto-Snap**
We've transformed LocateY into a smart search-and-capture tool. The new **Auto-Snap** feature instantly captures a high-resolution photo the moment your target text is found—no need to press a shutter button. Every capture includes a "baked-in" **red highlight** precisely circling the text you searched for, so you can review it clearly later.
**How to Use It:**
1. **Search:** Open the app and type the keyword you want to find (e.g., "Sodium", "Price", "Ingredients").
2. **Scan:** Point your camera at the target area. Move your phone slowly to help the focus.
3. **Zoom:** Use the ergonomic slider to zoom in (up to 5x). Zooming helps the app read small or blurry text from a comfortable distance.
4. **Auto-Snap:** When the text is found, LocateY automatically snaps a photo and highlights the match.
5. **Review & Share:** Tap the thumbnail to view your find in full screen with pinch-to-zoom, or share the highlighted image instantly with family or caregivers.
**Key Features:**
* **Real-time Detection:** Audio beeps guide you to your target.
* **Smart Auto-Snap:** Hands-free photo capture upon detection.
* **Precision Highlighting:** Permanent red circles mark found text in your photos.
* **Lefty Mode:** Customizable UI layout for left or right-handed use.
* **No Sign-In Required:** Just open and use.
**LocateY — The easiest way to find text in the real world.**
