Photo Translator - Translate 4+

After restarting and redownloading the app I was able to get it working again. This app is really great but definitely needs some kinks worked out. The problem I was having was that it wouldn’t let me change the language options so I was stuck on English to English which made the app effectively useless. When trying to change the language the app would close itself out.

I had bought an antique set of small wood carvings many years ago. I was told at the tine that they thought the pieces were a Mongolian 'chess' set. Ok. Lately I did a search and found some definitive information from a source in France. That person in turn told me of the worlds leading authority on this and was advised to find his book to get authoritative information. I found the book in a London dealer web site. I ordered it and it came. Of course it was in Italian. Although I have a small amount of Italian the detail in the text overwhelmed my capabilities. I found the app and bought it. In short order was able to easily translate the pertinent parts of the book and was able to delve into what had interested me that caused me to make this purchase of these amazing antiques in Budapest. I couldn't have been more pleased as to its ease of use and technical capabilities. I wholeheartedly recommend this app.

Tried 2nd photo (after signing for 3-day trial) of a 2nd Christian hymn in Hindi at Indian church: provided a nice OCR copy of the exact same text over my page - but STILL IN Hindi!!! Tried specifying “Hindi-To - English” but no change - still sharp digital text picture of exact same page as I already have in front of me - but no translation has taken place — I was told by an Indian brother-in-the-lord that this may be because the hymn book had Hindi text not in the native characters but as phonetic Roman characters so was not recognized as Hindi, so app simply reprinted the Roman English characters as they appeared without translating them to English — Perjaps, will photograph some Hindi characters next; but it seems a serious flaw mot to recognize Hindi written in the 26 characters of the English / American alphabet!
