Yumini

What it does

I've always loved exploring local eateries whenever I travel abroad. I prefer discovering hidden gems favored by locals over touristy spots. However, these places often lack English menus or photos, making it challenging to order. While Google Translate helped somewhat, it was inconvenient to hold my phone over the menu, and the translations were often awkward. That's when I saw the potential of AI like Gemini to create a better menu translator, leading to the birth of Yumini. Designed for travelers who want to enjoy authentic local cuisine without language barriers, Yumini works with almost any language—just snap a photo of the menu, and it automatically recognizes and translates it.

Yumini transforms dining with more than just menu translations. It offers converted prices, detailed dish descriptions, and high-resolution photos. Powered by Gemini, it analyzes menu photos and text to accurately match dishes to prices, surpassing traditional OCR capabilities.

Intelligent Dish Pairing:
Many people check Google Maps photos before visiting a restaurant but struggle to match them with menu items. I solved this with Gemini's image analysis capabilities, categorizing these photos and matching them to dishes on the menu, so you can see exactly what your meal will look like.

Users can ask about any dish, and Gemini provides answers, ideal for those with food allergies.
