Google adds Word Lens Technology to Translate App
Google Said Wednesday That It has updated its Google Translate application to include Word Lens technology acquired last year that can read signs in various languages and translate to and from English.
Word Lens capabilities will be added to Android with some features coming to the Apple's IOS platform for the first time. Google acquired visual search, the company that created Word Lens, last year. For Google, the acquisition gave the giant search technology that could be used throughout the platform.
Instant translation could be a practical advantage for business travelers. With the update of the application Translate, you point your camera at a sign or a text and see the translation superimposed on the screen.
Until now instant translation function works in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Google says other languages are on deck.
In addition, Google has made his conversation engines faster to real-time translations can be delivered more quickly. Google's goal is to transform the phone into a universal translator.
It is likely that Word Lens will be included in all Google sites with the real winner being portable computing initiatives such as Google Glass.
