Auto - translation of foreign text image
With the increasing connectivity of today’s world, communication between people is no longer bounded by geographical boundaries. As people travel out of their countries to explore the rest of the world, or as they communicate with people from another country, differences in language is likely to pos...

With the increasing connectivity of today’s world, communication between people is no longer bounded by geographical boundaries. As people travel out of their countries to explore the rest of the world, or as they communicate with people from another country, differences in language is likely to pose a problem for effective communication to take place. In light of this, there is hence an increasing need for translation services. This project aims to build a translation application on a mobile platform, which would allow greater portability and convenience, especially for tourists and people who are travelling to a foreign country.
