Both apple and android have combo flashlight magnifier apps that let you read fine print more easily without first having to take a photo.

You can also translate at the same time using Google translate.

I just got a new "everything" charger that came with A teeny tiny instruction sheet. I put it in my printer, set it to copy, and enlarged to 200%. NOW I can read it easily.
