Translanguage OCR gives you a powerful word and phrase translator in the palm of your hand. Traveling to a country and can't read or spell the language? Simply take a picture and wait for the translated results. Studying a new language? Translation is just a click away!
How do I use it?
Using the touch screen, adjust the rectangular box to fit the text that you need for translation. Change the languages parameters and snap the picture using the camera button. If it is too dark, use the flash button to turn on your phone's flash and use it as a flashlight.
Language packs are downloaded on a need basis and only once. Chinese, Japanese and Korean are big language packs and is recommended that Wifi is used to download these language packs.
