Googles + Google Translate

Linda

Google Googles is a visual search application.

The app works in two steps:

  1. you open the app
  2. you take a picture of the object you want info about

you get immediately the search information on the screen.

 

The application is integrated with optical character recognition and recently with Google Translate.

Now can search for the meaning of texts and get the results quickly.

With the new camera feature you only need to:

  1. open Google Translate
  2. Activate Camera mode
  3. Point at a text
  4. and brush it with your finger.

 

 

Unfortunately the app is not available on the Apple store.

I work in software development. I keep on writing from time to time People's Code to continue following some of my oldest passions: linguistics and language technologies. I'm Italian and I live in Luxembourg. Ah... the blog's name comes from my favorite definition of natural language: it is a shared code. It is not nice nor ugly, not simple nor difficult - we understand each other only because we share the same code and we (often) agree on it. Ehm ho un altro blog in Italiano, ChiappeInFuga, per sapere di cosa si tratta fate prima a darci un'occhiata se no l'about me non finisce più.
