It is capable of recognizing 99 percent of text from photos in five different languages: English, French, Mandarin, Spanish, and German.

Use cases of Instashot include making a call from a photo of a card; navigating to a destination from a screenshot sent by a friend; copying and sharing quotes from books; and searching for lyrics from a screenshot of Spotify.
