Is there an app that can give you the pinyin for a character if you take a picture of it / hover over it?

I have seen apps that will translate Chinese text to English, and vice-versa, if you either hover over text with your phone, or take a picture. I've never used one, though (could anyone link to some?)

​

I'd like an app that would give the pinyin for any text if you hover over it with your phone. I've started reading a physical book in Chinese, rather than simply a digital copy, though unlike the digital copy where I can just get instant translations for words, I'm often stumped when reading the physical book, as either I've never seen the word before, or don't recognize the characters.

​

P.S. Additionally, does anyone know of an app like the ZhongWen Chinese Popup that translates Chinese to English if you hover of a word with your cursor; but rather, does English to Chinese if you hover over an English word with your cursor?

​

Thanks!
