This looks really good and a boon to the n900 - especially if an off-line option becomes available. "Photo-translator alpha" from OVI although promising, is buggy and needs one to wait each time as it reconstitutes image icons.

Thanks to dev for effort!

This would increase speed & reduce user frustration from not noticing that translating was done and results could have been seen sooner.
Implemented your suggestion.

Also fixed the problem with the application breaking the normal camera app after use.

New version is uploaded.

Would it be possible for you to add an 'export text' to text file feature?

I've been looking for some sort of OCR software so I can take a photo of a document and edit, and then email the text; your app can obviously do the OCR side, so presumably it wouldn't take much to implement

I just realized it crashes when the phone is not connected to the internet instead of requesting connection.

It also crashed during editing of badly captured letters
Thanks for the feedback. Just uploaded a fix for crashing on sending without an internet connection. The manual correction mode might still be a bit rough, especially for crops that extend beyond image. Will look into it.

Great app!

Option to load an image file, as alternative to take a photograph would be fantabulous.

I have a few suggestions to improve this great application:

1. Allow dictionaries download (trasnlation available offline) - i believe many people will use this application while travelling, which means in most cases won't have internet connection.

2. Allow translation from a previously captured image.

3. Allow for manual image correction before the send for translation - sometimes it says there was no text recognized after taking a photo - especially if the photograph is not black text on white page.

Great work
