When I first moved to Japan, I had to use lots of websites that used untranslatable images (not text, like png or whatever and google lens was not a thing). I got help a few times and memorized what clicking on an area did more than even what the image was (which would change sometimes). This is how I got by with ATMs and various websites for quite a while. It works until something changes. Today, screen readers, google lens, and other things exist to help as well.
Sounds like just learning to read would be a better use of your time then. I mean if you already speak the language it should be fairly trivial, right?
You’d be surprised how functional the illiterate can be.

Yeah, just look at Trump. Functional illiteracy is a real thing in the US.
