Google Translate for Android gets the ability to translate text from photos
Moving one step closer to a Babel fish-like translator, Google recently announced that the Translate app for Android would be getting optical character recognition (OCR) technology that would let you translate text from photos. So if you’re at a Chinese restaurant and you want to know what’s on the Chinese menu, just point, snap and read it in your language of choice.
To use our new camera feature, push the camera button, point at some text, tap to freeze the picture, brush the part you want with your finger, et voila — enjoy your machine translation. As usual, you can click the text-to-speech icons to listen to the source text or the translated text. We currently support optical character recognition for Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish, and we’re also working hard to get more languages on the list.
