Babelshot Now Translates Photos From Your Camera Roll

Babelshot has been updated with the ability to translate photos from your iPhone camera roll.

Automatically translate restaurant menus, hotel booklets, product manuals, or snippets from newspapers without typing anything on iPhone keyboard. Simply take a close-up picture of printed text and this app will recognize and immediately translate it into another language (Important: see hardware requirements below). As a backup to camera input, you can always enter text manually, just like with any other translator app.

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:
► For full camera input capabilities, iPhone 3GS or previous generation iPhone with Clarifi case is required.
► iPhone and iPhone 3G users without Clarifi case are limited to translating large text only (1/3" or bigger), or using manual input.
► iPod Touch users can only use manual input.
► Wi-Fi or cellular connection is required for translation but not for text recognition.

What's New In Version 1.1:
- New Saved Photos tab allows translation of photos from camera roll.
- Enabled translation of iPhone screenshots.
- Added Chinese Traditional language (manual input only).
- Added vibration alert when text recognition is complete.
- Improved language selection UI.
- Minor improvements in English recognition.


You can purchase Babelshot (photo translator) from the App Store for $2.99 for a limited time.
