Google Traduction 2.5 traduit maintenant vos images | Phonandroid

L'application traduction de Google se met à jour et permet maintenant de traduire à partir d'images.
C’est une grosse mise à jour que Google vient de faire pour son application traduction. La plus grosse mise à jour vient de la possibilité de traduire des morceaux d’images en utilisant l’appareil photo de votre androphone.
La fonctionnalité peut être utilisée en appuyant simplement sur le bouton caméra. Une fois la photo prise, il vous reste à souligner avec votre doigt la partie de la photo que vous souhaitez traduire. Il faut un peu de temps pour s’y faire, mais cela fonctionne assez bien en fait.
La mise à jour est possible si vous avez au moins Android 2.3 Gingerbread. D’autres fonctionnalités ont été mise à jour comme la reconnaissance de plusieurs caractères japonais à la fois ou la possibilité de choisir sa langue préférée pour les entrées vocales.
L’application est de plus complète et va vite devenir indispensable lors des vos voyages durant lesquelles vous ne maîtrisez pas forcement la langue. Une petite photo sur un panneau de signalisation ou sur une carte et c’est gagné.

Google Glasses: Does This Make Sense? -- InformationWeek

Yes, I want Google Glass glasses. But here's why you probably won't.

Last month I looked at putting a phone into a tablet, a concept with (IMHO) limited appeal but not likely to fail altogether. This month, though, I've got one that really is going to flop--even though it's cool, exciting, and even revolutionary. I'm talking about putting a phone into eyeglasses or a similar head-mounted form factor, with Google's Project Glass being the current poster child for this approach. Whereas we'll see Phablets in some limited vertical and consumer applications, don't count on too many people sporting cellular headsets--think of this instead as the Segway scooter of the wireless world--intriguing, and, yes, cool, but ultimately very, very rare.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but how come we're not seeing Segways everywhere? This concept lit up the airwaves (to use an analogy) when it was announced back in 2001, and everyone--everyone--wanted one, or at least wanted to try one. Imagine a personal transportation device that's compact, environmentally friendly, and devastatingly cool. That's a Segway. So why is it, once again, that we're not all riding around on one today? (Just to be clear, I still want one badly, but, then, I'm a confirmed gadget addict who occasionally, or maybe a little more often than that, abandons the practical just for fun and adventure.)

Google’s Project Glass Inspired Glasses Do Real Time Language Translation | CrazyEngineers

Here is a glass that can do real time translation of the words you hear. Apparently, computer programmer Will Powell took some inspiration from the Google’s Project glass and has come up with a prototype that can translate speech into one of the available 37 languages and the result of translation is available at the lower part of user’s glass.

The concept is a very simple one. The speaker must use a microphone and the speech signals are routed to a tablet or a smart phone. This helps you get a clean and noise cancelled audio feed. Then Microsoft Translator is used to identify the language and do the translation. The result of translation is displayed on the user’s glass so that he can get real-time translation of the words. Two Raspberry Pi units running Linux are used to power the subtitle interface and the pictured TV display. These “credit card sized, single-board computers” are available for US$35 each.
