Do you know if there's a camera-based app that translates on the fly? These all seem to use uploaded images, but I'd love to be able to flip through an actual physical book and translate via an app.
The current version of Google Translate is close to managing this, it's reasonably good at picking out separate text bubbles, even in handwritten script, but you might have to play with camera positioning and lighting.
it's best when faced with long stretches of dialogue, the translation does start to fail with short snappy "action manga" japanese with short context-less sentences and exclamations.
