Google Goggles is an excellent concept – take a picture of something with your phone and get the same search results you would have were you to do a traditional search.\u00a0 See a bridge or monument and want to learn the name?\u00a0 SNAP!<\/p>\n

Admittedly, the mobile app for Android has some kinks to work out, but the promise is there.\u00a0 The same can be said for Google Translate.\u00a0 Run a website or block of text through their tool and have it exported into another language.\u00a0 We use it quite a bit for mobile tech sites that are done in German, French, etc.\u00a0 We simply run it past the Translate tool and it’s transcribed to English.\u00a0 While this could be improved, it’s already more than just convenient.\u00a0 It’s downright helpful.<\/p>\n

So what happens when the two collide<\/strong>?\u00a0 What can be done when optical character recognition (OCR) and real-time translation meet up?<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a video of a Google engineer scanning a menu written in German.\u00a0 Goggles provides a rather quick translation into English.\u00a0 We can imagine this having plenty of practical uses in the real world – traffic signs, landmarks, products, etc.<\/p>\n
