Talking Cam is a generative AI-powered camera app that instantly narrates what it sees in 13 languages. Powered by on-device generative AI, it even runs smoothly on an iPhone 11. A fun showcase of generative AI’s potential for both entertainment and utility.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I’m excited to share Talking Cam with you today.
This started as a personal challenge: could I get a large language model to run entirely on-device, even on older hardware like an iPhone 11? After a lot of trial and error (and model squeezing), the result was more fun than I expected — a camera that literally talks back in 13 languages.
👉 All the demo videos are captured on iPhone 11, with no cloud or server calls.
👉 Just point the camera, and it instantly narrates what it sees.
I wanted to make something that’s not only technically interesting for AI enthusiasts, but also surprising and entertaining to use in everyday life.
Would love to hear your thoughts — what language would you want your camera to speak first? 🌍
Thanks for checking it out!
