Travel Shopping Buddy: Recognize price tag/show amount in home currency

In plain words

Travel Shopping Buddy is a mobile application that uses a camera to instantly recognize price tags and convert them to the user's home currency. Designed for travelers shopping abroad, it features a hands-free interface that requires no manual input beyond pointing the device at a price tag. The app automatically displays the converted amount, helping international shoppers quickly understand local prices in familiar currency terms.
