Photograph it
Snap the letter, add a few pages, or import a PDF. The text is read right on your phone.
Your language
Choose the language your explanation is written in. It reads the way you think, not officialese.
read on your phone, not our servers
not a translation, a decision
delete any letter, anytime
An official letter arrives in a language you're still learning. The scary part usually isn't the words. It's not knowing what happens if you get it wrong.
How it works
Four steps. About a minute.
No typing, no forwarding to a relative, no pasting into a chatbot and hoping. Just your phone and the letter in front of you.
Understand it
Get a plain-language explanation in your language: what it is, who sent it, and what it means for you.

Keep it private
Your explanation is saved only on your phone. Read it again anytime, or delete it in one tap.
Stored on this device only
What you get
Not a translation. A decision.
A word-for-word translation still leaves you asking "so what do I actually do?" LetterGuide answers that question directly.
Translation tells you the words. LetterGuide tells you what to do.
Officialese, translated literally, is often just as confusing in your language as it was in theirs. LetterGuide reads past the wording to the point of the letter.
Deadlines that remind you
The date that matters is pulled from the letter and set as a reminder, so it never slips your mind.
Clear next steps
A short checklist of exactly what to do, kept separate from what the letter says, so facts and advice never blur.
Private by design
The letter is read on your phone. Only the text needed for one explanation is ever sent, and it's never stored.
Privacy first
Here is everywhere your letter goes. All of it.
Official letters are personal: tax numbers, case numbers, medical details. LetterGuide is built to keep them off any server we run. This is the complete journey of a photographed letter.
origin: your phone
The photo becomes text here
On-device text recognition reads the letter. The photo itself is deleted once your explanation is ready.
one request
A single, stateless call
Only that extracted text is sent to generate your explanation. No account, no history, no identifier tying it to you.
back to your phone
Saved on your device only
The explanation is stored in the app on your phone. Read it again anytime, or delete it in one tap.
Not on this route: our servers. We do not store your letter's image or its text, ever. No ads, no data sales, no tracking of what your letters say.
Try it
Nothing to delete, because nothing was ever there.
The honest way to judge an app that touches something personal: what would happen if a letter left your phone by mistake? Try it below. This letter only ever existed on your device, never on a server.
Real explanations live only in the app on your phone. Removing one here does not "sync a deletion" anywhere, because there was never anywhere else for it to be.

Free and paid
What free means, honestly.
LetterGuide hasn't launched yet, so exact pricing isn't set. Here is what we can promise instead.
Always free
There will always be a way to get a letter explained, at no cost.
- Photograph and understand your letters
- Deadlines pulled out and set as reminders
- Explanations saved on your device, delete anytime
- English and Turkish today, more languages coming
What paid may change
If we offer paid options, this is the shape they'll take.
- How many letters you can explain in a period
- Never the privacy of how your letter is handled
- Never whether an explanation makes sense to you
Nothing about pricing is final yet. When it is, you'll see it in the app before you're ever charged.
Fair questions
Frequently asked
Is LetterGuide a translator?
No. A translation gives you the words. LetterGuide gives you the meaning and the next step: what the letter is, who it's from, what it wants, the deadline, and what to do. You choose the language the explanation is written in.
Is my data safe?
Your letter is turned into text on your phone. Only that text is sent, once, to produce your explanation, and it is never stored on our servers. Your saved explanations live only on your device, and you can delete any of them at any time.
Which languages does it support?
You can have letters explained in several languages, with more on the way. The app itself is available in English and Turkish today.
What does it cost?
Pricing isn't finalized yet. There will always be a way to get a letter explained for free. Paid options, when they arrive, will simply remove limits, not the core ability to understand a letter.
It got something wrong. What do I do?
Explanations are generated automatically and can be incomplete or wrong, especially from a blurry photo. Always check important details like deadlines, amounts, and reference numbers against the original letter, and consult a qualified professional for anything that matters.
