12 Feb 2010 alle 18:25 Produttore: Codium Labs | Download Link: AppStore | Prezzo: 2,39€ Qualche mese fa vi abbiamo parlato di Babelshot, un traduttore presente su AppStore. La vera rivoluzione del software sta nel riconoscimento del testo. Sarà infatti sufficiente scattare una foto, selezionare un’area di testo, attendere il riconoscimento e godersi la traduzione! Da qualche ora è stato aggiornato alla versione 1.1 con diverse novità. Ecco, di seguito, il changelog ufficiale. Vi ricordiamo che le foto vengono quindi processate e con il controllo OCR si riesce ad ottenere il testo in digitale. Dalle prove effettuate, il riconoscimento dei testi italiani è piuttosto buono ma presenta ancora degli errori, quello dei testi in inglese invece è praticamente perfetto. In ogni caso tramite l’applicazione è anche possibile correggere delle parole che non vengono riconosciute nella maniera giusta per cui la traduzione (basata su Google Translate) sarà sempre assicurata. Babelshot è compatibile con Read More

There have been many times in my life when I wished I could translate something that is around me. Different languages are everywhere and there has never been such a need for translation on a day to day bases. Fortunately, everyone with an iPhone is set up perfectly to translate on the go. Babelshot offers direct translation of over 35 different languages to your native language. But the large selling point for this app is that it can take a photo of the text you are trying to translate (as long as the language is one of the 32 supported) and automatically convert it to text and translate. The process is actually pretty simple. Take a photo, crop it, verify the text, and then hit translate. It worked extremely well everytime I did it but there are two large pitfalls with this app. Some very popular languages are not available for Read More

Being in a foreign country with a foreign language can be difficult, especially when you come across something you can’t understand. Thankfully, now there’s an app for that, too. Codium Labs has just announced the release of Babbleshot [App Store, $1.99], an app that can translate text in photos taken on your iPhone’s camera from different languages. Supported languages: Afrikaans, Albanian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, Maltese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, and Turkish… …and those are only the ones that it can translate straight from the photo. If you’re willing to type it out (i.e. for iPod touch owners), if can also translate Arabic, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Macedonian, Persian, Russian, Serbian, Thai, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese (though typing characters for some of the languages would undoubtedly be difficult).

Reviews

No camera support for Japanese and Chinese
Chielou 3.0 stars Version: 1.0.0
I like the app, would give 5 stars if the camera supported Asian text. The app developer should list the countrys and language not supported by camera.
Did not work and does NOT recoginize Chinese characters
TheChiman 2.0 stars Version: 1.0.0
I was not able to get it to recoginize any photographed text at all. I am using a 3G. Also, you cannot use this app with Chinese characters. I do not know how hard it is to do this but it is dissappointing nonetheless. I give this app 2 stars based on the fact I could not get it to do what it was advertised as. The fact that it can't do chinese did not factor into that. I hope it works better on a 3GS.
Terrible
paxetbonumviii 1.0 stars Version: 1.0.0
Does not work for books or internet. If you want it to translate just a few words, then it is for you. If you want to translate anything more that a sign, it is completely worthless.
Must have
Bronduralator 5.0 stars Version: 1.0.0
A must have if you travel to foreign countries. The camera scan and OCR features are the best. You don't have to type on a foreign language, just take a picture and read the translation. It works excellently on my 3G with Clarifi case (with lens). It works even without Clarifi, but on large letters. Very useful tool, worth much more than couple of bucks.
Top of the line translator
Lolitosan 5.0 stars Version: 1.0.0
This app works like charm. The fact that you can photograph a text and then translate it is a killer feature. I used to use iTranslate which is good too but this one is better.
Essential travel app
Zekernal 5.0 stars Version: 1.0.0
Great app - does what it says it does, and is a great tool for travelling abroad.
Awesome! MUST BUY APP!
AndrewLih@Taiwan 5.0 stars Version: 1.0.0
I recommend this app for all the OCR lovers! It is really accurate! I'm using an iPhone 3GS. The developer told me it will be more accurate in the next update! I'm willing to see an update! If you wanna scan a document, use this app! It also translate into the language the users wanted! The service of this app is also great! The developer replied me within one day(one hour)! It's just awesome!
Amazing! But needs hebrew!
shaq95n 3.0 stars Version: 1.0.0
I love this app as a translator but it would get 5 stars if it had more languages for the camera like Hebrew
