Hi guys,
Edward Kim here. I just wanted to share with you my latest app. I'm going to South America next week on vacation, and don't know any Spanish or Portuguese. So, I made this app, which lets you take a picture of anything, then translates it for you into any language you want.
It basically runs OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on the photo you take, then sends it off to Google Translate to translate the recognized text.
This community has been extremely helpful to me in the past for feedback/bugs/feature suggestions. I'd really appreciate if you could check it out and give me any of your comments!
App link
As always, I'm more than happy to refund the purchase for anyone here who purchases the full version of the app. Just purchase it on the market, and then fwd me your order receipt to eddie [period] kim at googles email service [dot] com
Thanks!
Camera "Tranlator"??? it is also time for a spelling-checker. ;-)
haha....oops! Thanks for pointing that out.
Sweet. I'll try it out here in a bit. I hope that it works better than How2Say? ... which didn't sort of work at all.

Edward! Wow I just realized you are the developer who created Car Locator, and Screenshot it! Do you work on apps by yourself? Or do you have a group/team/company? Also, do you use a program to develop your apps?
I am downloading this right now, will test it, and leave feedback!

HTC Sensation
I tried the app with my Rooted HTC Sensation For T-Mobile with the Custom ROM Android Revolution HD.
I tried 4 pictures of spanish things. One of which was a huge sign saying: Peligro, which means danger, the sign is very big too, but once cropped, and I select "Crop" It just has an empty box, with no works, like I have to type them in, which in my opinion defeats the purpose of Taking a picture, instead of typing.
I also tried taking a picture of my homework, at the top is it says "Mi Familia" In about size 16 font, and the camera could not focus on the lettering in the app, but my normal camera app would do fine.
Your concept seems very intelligent, and If either Im doing something wrong, or the app is not fully complete maybe, once this works good, I'd be happy to help you promote it.
Is it live translatation, like Word lens for iOS, or a picture followed bya translation, like Google Goggles?
RE: Camera Translator - Translate Anything With Your CameraArrow
Thanks for this, But tell me how much language Translation facilities in this camera Translator APP.
This isn't true
I tried the app with some french text on a website (took photo of what was on my computer's monitor) but sadly it couldn't recognise any of the text to translate
aha...okay...who needs that?

Does anyone here have a dictionary app for your device? If so, which app? I've done some searching but it mostly comes back with English to Spanish, English to Dutch, etc etc etc. I just want an app that is like a Websters Dictionary for my device.

Hi,
i recommend the http://www.octopus-studio.com/index.en.htm
The Mdict application by Rayman Zhang. You can find/produce a lot of free powerfull dictionaries for the pocket pc. And so far as I know it is freeware.
Maybe if you find some sources for more dictionaries it would be nice to post this.
Have fun

I have used Slovoed Dictionary for over two years now and it's great.
Just Google it.
I use PocketDict which is freeware and has English dictionary and loads of translators too. Great tool for travelling.

Ok. http://www.fmylife.com is absolutely hilarious. It is a site of things that have happened to people. It is a lot like twitter, they are small messages you post about crappy things that happened to you and people can vote either "Yes your life is f***ed" or "You had that one coming". I read it daily just for laughs and they have an API available to developers in the form of an XML feed to retrieve them. You can also have full control to log into your account and post another great FMyLife story thru the API. This would be great to be able to post them on the go straight from your Android mobile. Lol please check out this site and if a capable dev wants to give it a go I can set you up with the info. Thanks all, enjoy reading about peoples crappy lives!
That would be great if there was an app of that site
I had never heard of that site before.. but it's effing hilarious. RSS'd.
I just use http://iphone.fmylife.com
This is the greatest website EVER! Haha if you go twitter, just follow them. I just added them so no need for an extra app

lol wow! someone posted an app in the market. It's just a frontend to the iPhone version though...

you're in the wrong forum buddy. This app is for android, not palm.
There is a 1x4 widget available for Android 1.5 (cupcake) users.
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.mlst.fmlwidget
or search "fml widget" in market
there's a application in the market,
search for "FML" in the market, works amazing.

Hello,
my first app called "Personal Shopping Assist" has arrvied at the marketplace.
With PSA you can take a picture from a product barcode an then have a look at the best price from the internet. So you can decide to buy it in the shop or order it online.
At the moment the app searches with google-shopping but in the next version I'll add support for ebay, amazon and son german price-finding-websites. And for the future it is planed to support testwebsites like ciao! too, so you can read what a product is rated befor you buy it.
Till now only version 1.0 is online, but version 1.1 is already in the certification-process. With version 1.1 the barcode recognition has dramtically increased.
Thank you to everyone to try it
Can not find the app via search, in which category can i find the program?
Thanks.
I have renamed the App (on marketplace) to "PSA Barcodereader" so all the users who search for "barcode" can find it.
When you search for "PSA" or "barcode" you should find it. Alternativly you can look under "Livestyle / Shopping"
Question
I have two questions.
Is the application multilingually, particularly German?
Can the application read only barcode or also QR code (matrix barcode)?

1. Yes it is fully multilingual (UI and searchresults). At the moment only English and German, but Spanish, Francis and Italiano will follow tomorrow with version 1.3
2. At the Moment the App only reads EAN13-barcodes because that is the most used type for products. The development for EAN8 and the formats for USA and japan is currently in progress
$1.29 and bad reviews?
Good luck with that.
Works for me, and the prices are very good for Germany.
Maybe you can make it possible to filter the results, for example only for Amazon. I don't want to register in a new shop just to save a few cents.
it says on the XDA portal that it's free, yet it's 99p on marketplace (I know that's not much, but saying its free then it has to be paid for is not good).
I see it's only got 2 stars, I prefer to make my own judgement on apps, and also with there not being many reviews it's not subjective (it could be a competitor marking it down to give their own app an advantage).

There is only one "bad" review with two stars and that guy ratet it based on the first version wich has a little bug in the barcode recognition algo.
At the moment the app is on thrid place under "top lifestyle" and on 151th place on the over all top list.
and the ranking in the topslists on appsfuze is good too.

thank you very much for this input... I'll implement a feature for selecting the "favorite shops" and the search result will be fist grouped by favorite shop / not favorit shop and then sorted by price... ok?

thank you for you support... the portal is a litle bit lazy... when you go to marketplace on the phone there are 4 reviews, three with 5 stars and one with 2 stars, so the actual total ratig is 4 stars.
but anyway... I will do my best to make the app as good as possible, so that anyone who bought it will be satisfied with it.

Sounds good!
I guess there will be an update via Marketplace at some time?
Another suggestion: Let the user choose which information to show in the list. I think it would be better to see the shop's name instead of the full description in for example.
Is it possible to see the shipping cost as well?

Hello,
if you have installed the trial version, there is a general marketplace bug… in some cases it is not possible to update trial version. But you can get the updated version if you uninstall the current version and reinstall the new version from marketplace.

Does anyone know a quality app that will let me view using the camera or possibly take photos of text and translate that image? Watch a ton of Esports from Korea and mainly Starcraft 2 and lot of twitter post and such are just photos of text from other languages I can not read. Thanks for your help if you know of one that will be able to translate a small image and break down the language would be amazing.

Google Goggles?
Does not translate anything besides "English, French, Italian, German & Spanish." Unless they have added other language support and not updated the description? I will give a try and see but that was my first though and read they only offer those languages listed that does not offer me ones I desire. Thanks for the tip though.
Hi All,
i just bought a meizu H1 Smartband.. but unfortunately for me the app only has chinese language support at this point.. as such could anyone of you good souls help me/guide me in getting the app translated to English.
i am attaching the app here...
thanks and regards,
Rohit
P.S. Happy New Year as well..
An update.. tried to manually change the language using the strings.xml file in res/values... Gives me a error in compiling it back

Hi Rohit,
Just so you know I have the same problem. I had a friend buy me the Meizu H1 Smartband straight from China. I scanned the QR code with my phone and downloaded the app which is completely in Chinese. To register, it appears like you need to use a Chinese phone number.
I signed up using my WeChat ID (which was also a pain btw) and set up my Smartband, synchronised it and all. The whole app is in Chinese with no possibility to translate to English. I got my Chinese friend to help me understand what means what. I guess it's a good excuse to learn some basic Mandarin for me

I installed the application that you share before (v.apk) but I am not able to do the loging using wchat. I do not know if it is a problem of the application. However the last version of the application (v1.0.38) works fine for me but it is only available on Chinese. Did you translate the last version (V1.0.38)? Could you share it?

Hi.. Did you get any English app or no, I just got my band and I'm lost on how to register and sync it.. Can you please help.
Hi,
Your link doesn't work but I found an other link with the application partially translated :
www dropbox.com/s/llelacf3fyxwvyd/meizuh1.apk?dl=0
If someone has the courage to continue the translation.
Would be translating the app again when we get a new version... V1.0.38 the current one.. is a buggy release.. it keeps resetting my progress and doesn't sync correctly as well...
Till that time... I do apologise for the trouble
Don't be sorry. I didn't know that. Thanks for your job !
it would be so great if you could continue with the translation
