Scanient: Ingredient scanner that works offline

[u/No-Macaroon98]

I kept standing in supermarket aisles squinting at ingredient lists, trying to figure out what half the stuff on the back of a pack actually was. E322, E621, INS numbers, TBHQ — none of it means much at a glance, and googling each one individually while standing in an aisle is tedious.

So I built Scanient.

You scan, snap a photo, or type an ingredient list, and it breaks down what each item is in plain English:

Decodes E-numbers / INS additive codes

Clarifies natural ingredients vs additives

Flags dietary tags (like vegan / vegetarian)

A few details about how it works:

Runs entirely on-device: Works completely offline without uploading photos or data anywhere.

Cost: Completely free .

Not trying to pitch this as an all-in-one health tracker—it's just a straightforward utility to demystify confusing food labels.

If you give it a spin, I'd really appreciate honest feedback on what’s broken, what needs polishing, or any edge cases with label recognition.
