Add hints for text recognition

I think it would be very useful to add 2 hints related to this function:

  • a tooltip for the inactive camera icon on the main screen - to tell the user that he should change the source language from "Autodetect" to another to be able to use this function

  • a help icon at the top of the text recognition screen - after tapping it, the popup opens with the information how to use the tool

The second picture has a bug that I saw too.

I've fixed that weird bug.

It's just drawing. Was it weird for you at the beginning @Aga-C?

Added a hint for the camera: https://github.com/ManeraKai/simplytranslate_mobile/actions/runs/2047328527

btw I really like the AlertDialog more than the little notification at the bottom that is called SnackBar. I may change everything like that so the user won't unnotice it unintentionally.

Nothing says so, it's not intuitive. At first, I thought that it's clicking to select. There should be any hint saying that it's drawing.

I'd change the text a bit. Please select another language implies that autodetect is a language. Also, the dot is missing at the end. Maybe Please select a specific language.?

What should the text be for informing the user about how to draw/paint?

This is my text:
Paint the green boxes with your finger. The parts where the paint touch are registered

It can be simpler: Select text to translate by painting the green boxes with your finger.. I think that the second part is not really necessary.

Looks ok ๐Ÿ‘ BTW. Why there is no OK button on the dialog?

oh forgot that. Will add it
