Translate the real world with Google Goggles →
From the Official Google Mobile Blog:
- Point your phone at a word or phrase. Use the region of interest button to draw a box around specific words
- Press the shutter button
- If Goggles recognizes the text, it will give you the option to translate
- Press the translate button to select the source and destination languages.
Whoa. There are some iPhone apps that try to this, but none are very good IMHO.
Don’t you just love living in the future?
UPDATE: Looks like it works pretty well:
The new Google Goggles text recognition feature is neat! When it comes to printed text, it’s almost flawless.
