Googles + Google Translate

Google Googles is a visual search application.

The app works in two steps:

you open the app
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:

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

Unfortunately the app is not available on the Apple store.
