TECHVOLUTION: translator

Imagine yourself traveling to another country where the climate and the environment and the hostile inhospitableness of the people puts you in a state of culture shock. You wind up finding yourself intimidated not knowing how to approach a total stranger on the street to ask for directions or even not being able to converse properly to state your point in a casual conversation. This situation reminds me of an embarrassing scene in one of Bruce Lee's film back in the 1970s where he played the role of an alienated Chinese from Hong Kong arriving in Rome, that while waiting for his female contact who was running late to meet him in the airport terminal, Bruce suddenly felt hungry and decided to walk into the airport diner to grab a bite but unfortunately didn't know how to read and understand the menu to order his meal from a very impatient waitress. But that was way back in the 1970s where you don't have any other alternative means of communication. Fast track that very same situation to the 21st century and you'll be thankful you have your iPhone handy in your pocket to do the translation for you. Presenting the PicTranslator, a revolutionary iPhone app that translates text in photos which also features an audible live speech function which will demonstrate to you the correct pronunciation of the foreign word allowing you to accurately say the word with proper diction. The attached video demonstrates using the iPhone app to translate the text in photos taken from the iPhone camera, then cropping the portion of the picture which contains the text to be translated then selecting the appropriate language from the app to complete the translation process. PicTranslate initially supports more than 10 languages, so to freely converse in a foreign language without actually learning how to speak the dialect, all you need to do is speak into your iPhone's microphone and PicTranslate will do all the verbal translation for you.
