Shoot To Translate – Use Your Mobile Phone Camera as a Pocket Translator
Who in this world doesn’t always carry their mobile phone? It is the most intimate relationship between person and machine. Now, it’s time for make the mobile phone work for you, rather then the other way.
At CTIA last week Nokia was showing off their Shoot-to-Translate mobile phone application. The way the application works is with your Symbian phone you take a photo of the foreign print text text to be translated, and beneath the photo the translated text appears.
Besides the CTIA demonstration not much more information has been released, but I think that this single application, if executed correctly, can be the next killer application in the mobile phone world.
