ABBY FotoTranslate is a clever new app for Symbian S60 3rd and 5th edition smartphones. It translates words by an image which should make it much more flexible than some competing products.
“ABBYY FotoTranslate is a new application that combines ABBYY’s award-winning optical character recognition (OCR) technology for converting images of words into text and mobile dictionary software. As a result, FotoTranslate delivers swift and accurate translation of words without the need for manual input of text, Internet connection, cellular signal, or access to any external language resources.
It will make people feel more in control of various communication situations especially when traveling abroad: to translate a dish name in a restaurant menu, unknown words in a local newspaper, business card, on a building or guide sign.”
