A cellphone that speaks your language

The language technology experts at Linguatec are unveiling a world first at CeBIT 2008 in Hannover, Germany: "Shoot & Translate" - the first translation software for cellphones and smart phones which uses the phone's built-in camera plus Internet access to perform its functions. The principle is beguilingly simple: Simply shoot a photo of the text, then send it off via the Internet to be translated.

This translation capability turns your cell phone into an indispensable companion you can take with you anywhere. Shoot & Translate uses optical character recognition (OCR) to convert the photographed text into a standard text file, which is then sent for translation to Linguatec.

This Munich-based company's proven Personal Translator technology returns the translation promptly, which the phone then displays or even speaks aloud. If you find yourself at an out-of-the-way restaurant in Spain, for example, and are not quite sure what "criadillas de toro" is on the menu, you might want to get the translation ("fried bull testicles") before placing your order.
