The latest version of Google Translate for Android should make
it easier to read road or shop signs. Users running Android 2.3 and up
with a rear-facing camera can now take a picture of text, then trace
over the words to have them translated. It worked pretty well for us,
and although other apps already have similar features, it's nice to see
this come to the official Google Translate app. Besides that, the update
to 2.5 also adds instant translation results while you type — much like
Translate on the web — and the Japanese handwriting system recognizes
multiple characters at once.
On the speech translation side, there's a new option to specify
dialect in several languages, including English, Chinese, and Arabic. It
can also check what kind of network is available when sending
translation requests in order to manage data usage. This isn't quite the
interface overhaul we saw last time, but the new features are much appreciated.
Best jazz internet package I found here.
