This is the competition. Vast resources, all engines at full speed.
It's been able to do that for some time but iirc Nokia Multiscanner on Symbian did it back in 2008/9. Google Translate does it a whole lot quicker and more accurately but that's just better hardware and evolved software.

I find the voice audio translation much more impressive.
