N.B. The direct translation function won't work as it requires API keys which

are not in the source. It is possible to long-press the result to copy it, so

that it can be pasted into a browser or a dictionary.

Experimental app for optical character recognition (OCR). Runs the Tesseract OCR

engine on your device to find text in images captured by the device camera,

without uploading your images to a server. It is suitable for recognizing

individual words or short phrases of text.

The default single-shot capture runs OCR on a snapshot image that's captured

when you click the shutter button, like a regular photo. When the "continuous

preview" checkbox is checked, the app shows a dynamic, real-time display of what

the device is recognizing right beside the camera viewfinder. The continuous

preview mode works best on a fast device.
