Google Translate has recently introduced a way to translate text in image. If you find any documents or any image with different or foreign language, you may just use this feature instantly. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is the technology used in the Android application which automatically recognizes a text from a picture automatically and translates for you with any language. Currently, the Android Application for translating text in image to text can translate text that are in language Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. Google is currently working on other languages which you can make use of to translate a text in an image to your own mother tongue or any you know.
The Internet giant, Google really serves useful services to people for free. Yet, they are unique in every service they provide. I have seen only few services which failed in Google. That too, a very little. Most of the products that Google introduce go as a big hit. Service they provide will be more unique and won't contain any bugs.
