PicTranslator - iPhone Application Description | | |
PicTranslator comes with ONE language. You can purchase additional languages at any time by selecting "Change Language" on the crop screen. | | |
COMING SOON: Translation from any of the supported languages into your native language (over 40 languages!). Current version translates only to English. | | |
PicTranslator turns your iPhone camera into a point-and-shoot translator AND pronouncer. Take pictures of road signs, menus, maps, or any printed foreign text (sorry, no handwriting yet) and PicTranslator will translate it to English for you and for some languages let you hear how it's pronounced! | | |

*Language includes audio pronunciation as well, so you can order from menus or get directions like locals do. | | |
**With PicTranslator, you'll be able to translate from ONE of the 16 supported languages. Support for additional languages can be purchased within the application at anytime by selecting "Change Language" on the crop screen. | | |

- Camera quality greatly affects PicTranslator’s accuracy. All sizes of printed text are supported on the iPhone 3GS, but users with previous versions of the iPhone, like the original iPhone and the iPhone 3G, should stick to translating large text. iPhone 3G users can improve their accuracy with the Griffin Clarifi case. | | |
- Translations require an internet connection. | | |
- Text-extraction and translation accuracy will increase over time. Help us improve by using the in-app rating system! | | |
Potential causes for inaccurate translation: | | |
- Pictures taken at an angle | | |
- Glare or shadows over text | | |
- Distorted text - curved, elaborate fonts, sideways printed text, etc. | | |
- Hand written text is not supported | | |
- Computer screens don't work as well as print outs. | | |
