Default Google will translate the text contained in images
Hello;

I was surfing . I found a news on mashable.

Google is working on a new system to translate the text on pictures.

Quote:
At the Mobile World Congress, Google CEO Eric Schmidt showed off a new prototype of Google Goggles — Google’s experimental Android visual search application — that can translate text captured in photos.

The prototype uses Google’s machine translation technology and image recognition capabilities to create an additional layer of useful context. So should the user take a photo from his Android (Android) device, the application can translate the text in that photo — though right now it only supports German-to-English translations.

Here’s how Google describes the process:

“You may wonder what’s happening in the background. On the simplest level, this prototype connects the phone’s camera to an optical character recognition (OCR) engine, recognizes the image as text and then translates that text into English with Google Translate.”
You can see the the prototype in action below:

Do not you think It's a crazy and wonderful idea

The idea is great, but it's an experimental thing. Still, if they manage to fine-tune it and make it accessible for the broader public, that would be awesome!

Thumbs up for the big G!

There are some software softwares available with scanners that can translate the scanned page into text. I have tried them, they do not do if the page is not so much clear. And they are not 100% success full. And Google is going to do some advance thing, I think.
