Description
Visual Translator allows you to translate textual information in your field of view from and to a variety of languages (see release notes for full list of supported languages). By looking straight into a billboard, sign, food menu, magazine or any other media with text written on it, and air tapping a couple of times, you are able to see a translated version of the words right on your screen! Visual Translator is specially useful during travels to foreign countries where you don't read the local language. How to use Visual Translator: For best results, position yourself straight in front of the billboard, sign, magazine, or text canvas that you wish to translate and align the text to the two horizontal lines so that the words are between them. Make sure the size of the letters are about as big as the space between the lines. After you have aligned the text to the two lines, air tap once to begin translation. Translation quality decreases dramatically if you don't follow these instructions. For more information on how to obtain best translation results visit www.refractiontech.com.
What's new in this version
Important: As of release 0.1.7, this application is just a feasibility proof of concept (PoC) that allows the user to translate from English to Spanish only. Refraction Technologies is concurrently developing the HoloLens application and a Linguistics engine that have not been coupled together as of v0.1.7. Therefore, the quality of the translation is very poor compared to what it will be when the projects are integrated. In addition to increased quality, the linguistics engine will allow translation between the following languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Dutch, Russian, Arabic, Japanese and Chinese.
