Very cool implementation :-)

So what they have is

- an OCR function that reads a few words from an (easy) image

- a (simple) translator that translates the words into a different language word for word

- and then paints the translated words back using the same font/size

...continuously and quickly !

Don't get me wrong, this is cool and all, but it would be much more useful with a single snapshot that translates better, instead of focusing on doing it "realtime" (but the video wouldn't be as cool :-) )

The idea is nice, so I expect Evernote and Google to implement this ASAP ;-)

Good luck !!!
