Instant Camera Translation and Voicing for Signs

Goals: Develop an Android app for signs translation from English to Chinese or other foreign languages with auto voicing. Useful for sign recognition at airport or on road, menu translation while dining at a restaurant, guide translation at tourist attractions, text translation while reading a book. Help foreigners to guide and enjoy themselves when travelling in the states without the hassle of opening a digital dictionary and typing in the text. Sometimes, when typing we could easily mistake one letter or another and we want to avoid any mistake by recognizing the words directly. Just focus your camera and get the translation popping out immediately! In addition, we will also test the performance of our app on the database of signs. We’ll also conduct field test of the app at airports and inside buildings.
