[Tech News] Microsoft translator app on images
Microsoft's Translator app lags behind Google's own offering, but the Redmond company is slowly catching up. In an update to Microsoft Translator for Android the company has added two new features: the ability to translate text from saved images, and an option to translate text anywhere on your phone. The update also brings the total number of languages available for download and offline use up to 43.Image translation has been available in Microsoft's iOS app since February, and on the company's Windows Phone app since 2010. "With the new image translation feature you can translate pictures instantly from your phone, with the translation appearing in an overlay above the existing text." The inline translation feature appears as an option alongside cut, copy, and paste when users highlight text. What are your thoughts on the on-the-go translator app? Now images can be translated is this an advantage? Would you recommend this to a friend? | |
