Open Papago when the language is Korean and you can type or speak. On October 25, 2026 Papago Help said an offline pack covers text and voice, in both directions, for Korean, English, Japanese, and simplified Chinese. Image, conversation, website, and document translation are not in that pack. Android voice offline needs an extra pack, 4 GB of RAM, and OS 14 or later. iOS text and voice offline need 4 GB of RAM. The phone help describes a camera for a signboard. The computer help says web image translation requires a login and stops at 30 images a month. The Papago Plus comparison page labels the everyday plan Free and lists limited text, 30 images, 20 documents, and 30 minutes of voice-file translation a month. The Plus cards print $9.99, $29.99, and $55.99 and also print $0, so this page does not quote a Plus price.
Open Google Translate when the photo of the menu has to work from a download, or when Korean is only one stop on a longer trip. On October 24, 2026 the homepage said the service is offered free of charge. The about page describes camera translation, an offline language download, and conversation, and it links to Android and iOS. The homepage says over 100 other languages. The Android help page says over 200, and that a language can say Not available offline. Those pages do not name Korean. Check the list in the app. A photo can still miss a line.
They split the job. Papago's help is the page that says Korean and then tells you the camera is not the offline feature. Google's pages are the ones that describe a camera and a download without naming Korea. If you need both the Korean name and an offline menu photo, Waygo's homepage names Korean and says the camera needs no connection, and it lists no price. For a spoken phrase with a connection, VoiceTra's features page also lists Korean and says the app is free.
Do not use either one for a visa form, a lease, or a medical decision. The camera and the offline pack are for a menu, a sign, and an everyday sentence.
