SymbolScan

SymbolScan is a mobile + web AI app that identifies religious symbols from a photo and returns a carefully sourced explanation: tradition/region/time period, common meanings, variations, and respectful usage guidance (what’s appropriate vs. offensive). It’s built for real-world situations: museums, tattoos, jewelry, architecture, manuscripts, and social media images. The app includes a “confidence + sources” panel (not just a guess), short summaries for casual users, and deeper citations for students and educators. Users can save finds into collections (e.g., “Hindu temple motifs,” “Christian iconography”), export notes, and share a clean reference card. The product is intentionally conservative: when the model is unsure, it says so and offers closest matches instead of hallucinating. Monetization is freemium: limited scans free, paid tier for unlimited scans, offline packs, and educator features.
