We primarily use the digital camera on a smartphone to take photos and record videos, but there are other ways to use the camera that you should know so that its potential does not go untapped. Here are three tricks that the camera on your smartphone, in combination with the right app, can do in addition to taking pictures and recording.
3 tricks that the smartphone camera can do in addition to taking pictures:
Translating
With a digital camera, you can translate captions or text in real time. All you need is a mobile app Google Translate. With the help of a digital camera, you capture incomprehensible content and the application translates it into a language you understand.
Available for iOS and Android devices.
Document scanning
A digital camera can also be used to scan documents. As a scanner, the digital camera is perfectly employed by the application Evernote Scannable, which is considered by many to be the best note-taking app. You can save almost anything in the application - documents, photos, videos, web pages, tasks, etc. All you have to do is hold the content in front of your phone's camera and the app does the rest.
Available for iOS devices. We suggest an app for Android users CamScanner.

Stargazing
You don't need to have knowledge of astronomy to identify all the stars in the sky. All you need is a smartphone and an app SkyView, which names the stars or star constellations above you. Point the camera at the night sky, and the app takes over from there.
Available for iOS and Android devices.
