Shoot To Translate Could Make Life Easier
Posted on Sep 29, 08 06:48 PM PDT
Whenever you're in a foreign country, the experience is a real bummer when you can't decipher what the signboards and notices are saying. Nokia hopes to change all that by incorporating a new technology known as Shoot to Translate into their cell phones, where snapping a photo with text inside will automatically see the software translate the captured text into the native language of the phone's owner. Language libraries are stored on the phone and are open to future updates. For languages like English, Greek or French, it will take around 600kb worth of storage space while more complex languages like Japanese and Chinese require up to 3MB of storage space.
