Re: [Announce] MIR Translator - Translate text captured by the Nokia N900 mobile camera
 

Thanks for the feedback. Am definitely going to look into it.

Observation of user interface from watching the video:

Current flow:
Click Send>Translating label>Done label>Click Result>Result screen

Why not have the UI go directly to the Result screen without user input when Translating is complete?
Click Send>Translating label>Result screen

This would increase speed & reduce user frustration from not noticing that translating was done and results could have been seen sooner.

rotoflex, that's a good idea. I actually thought of that myself and am going to get around to it in the next few iterations.

Regarding the app crashing the regular camera app. A quick investigation revealed the problem. It was actually a bug in some FCam API example code. It doesn't release/close /dev/fb properly when the app shuts down. Should be an easy fix I'll get to right away.:)

It works until I crop to the translation area but when i tap on "send" it crashes... :(

I just realized it crashes when the phone is not connected to the internet instead of requesting connection.

It also crashed during editing of badly captured letters

This is really a good application!

I agree with users asking for an offline app. If you're in a foreign country and there's no wifi it'll be very expensive to use it.

Have you seen the iphone 4 app World lens? Is it possible to do that with the N900?

You must take part at the Meego coding competition.

Really cool program! Thanks!

I know this is just personal, but It would be lovely to have hindi on here too. :)

Very impressive work... workes great for me - i mostly use it for japanese translations.

Re: [Announce] MIR Translator - Translate text captured by the Nokia N900 mobile camera
 

For some reason this app doesn't work for me. It recognizes the text properly, but the box which is supposed to show the translation is always completely blank. Has anyone else seen this problem? Does anyone know a solution? I'm running the plain Nokia kernel, and CSSU.

Re: [Announce] MIR Translator - Translate text captured by the Nokia N900 mobile camera
 

I have had the same issue. I have a plain PR1.3 install so doubt CSSU is to blame. I have just installed it though, was going to play with it a bit more before saying anything.

BTW this is both useful and cool. Thanks for creating it.
