PhotoTranslator for Nokia N900

PhotoTranslator is a neat application for Nokia N900. It allows you to translate text from pictures to various languages.

Imagine yourself walking on a street somewhere in a foreign country and you face a warning sign, but you have no idea what it says. Just take a picture of the sign and open it with PhotoTranslator, crop the text in the sign and PhotoTranslator translates the text to your language. In addition the PhotoTranslator can be used also for translating copy/pasted or typed text, not just for text from pictures.

available from extras devel but it says that some application is missing...what can i do...any help pleaseeee

[CybercomLab]

@ckedaziut You need to wait for PR 1.2. When it will be available then everything should work out-of-box.

wow?!

really good. although the rectangle you put over text to select it could use some kind of "button" in the lower right corner to make it more obvious where you have to pull from to resize it :D

just a thought^^

cant wait for it to go to extras!

btw is it optified?

[CybercomLab]

@murfad It's optified and it's available at extras devel.

[Ofernicus]

This is indeed a really cool application, but for some reason I can't make the "Take a new one" option work - it only works on existing photos...

@CybercomLab awesome, thanks! i really beware from downloading apps from testing or devel, but since this is optified, i guess it will be ok.
