Google: mobile phone translator soon
Internet has beautiful blur boundaries, it does not remove as much for the language barrier. Google is working. Having announced that it would be interpreted by telephone, the Web giant's actually working on a translator from reality.
If the translation of the text of a webpage or a digital document seems trivial now, Google is preparing a software for mobile phone capable of translating on the fly text appearing in reality.
The Google CEO Eric Schmidt has personally benefited from the conference of the Mobile World Congress to demonstrate a preliminary version of Goggles, a visual search software for Android phone, capable of translating such a map of a restaurant .
The process is the same as for the visual search: The user photographs the object of his choice (a restaurant menu, an advertisement or a billboard for example), the plate is transmitted to Google's servers, which then analyze return the result. The tool that operates both a recognition of character and reflects the resulting text, rather than refer to the results of relevant research.
It was not clear whether the software took advantage of location information that are available (country where the translation is done) to deduce the language of the original text, while the location is well placed to contribute to visual search.
Google has unfortunately confined to a short demonstration and did not deliver more detail, especially concerning the date of this tool. Nevertheless, one can already imagine a future translator in augmented reality.
