Which leads to another feature request... Sometimes I don't want to translate. Sometimes I just want to do OCR. If you do work toward making a package to do this on the N900, having a non-translate option would be nice. (eg, just do the OCR and present it in the current language...)

One other thought: What is the "server" running on now? I assume a PC running Linux or Windows? Would it be possible in the short term to package/zip/tar/vmware up the files and setup info needed to set up another server for this, say on a home PC? That could be useful too, both to lower load on your server, to serve as a backup, etc.

Thanks for the feedback. It's probably a bug/typo in the definitions used for Google translate. I'll try to fix it.

It is a really interesting approach to text recognition & translation. Specially as the client is open source, so people can learn from it

Do you have any paper describing how the recognition happens, and the client/server architecture?

Also, any plans to release source code for the server part? one idea might be to offload the server side by allowing to select from various servers (there might be people interested on hosting a server, for instance).

Thanks!

still waiting for hindi !!!!!

Very nice. Kudos!

I'm also interested in the server-side component. Biz card recognition with on-device address book integration would be killer.

This looks great, but crashes when i ask it to recognise the text (after selecting the area). The camera still seems to work. I have CSSU and the default kernel.

Thanks for a great program!

-Edit

I thought i'd be smart and start the program in xterm so i could get an error log or something, but all it says is "Segmentation fault"

Though earlier it says repeatedly
" Expected image data not returned from V4L2. Likely caused by exess page faults (thrashing)"
and
"WARNING: frame limit hit (128), silently dropping 1 frames. You're not draining the frame queue quickly enough. Use longer frame times or drain the frame queue until empty every time you call getFrame()"

After that (presumably when i'm taking the photo) i get lines about the shutter and focus being used, and a camera image being captured. I can move the highlighting box over the writing i want to translate, then when i push "send" i get the segfault.

Not sure if that'll help haha!
