New Scientist unveils yet another thing Nokia is designing cell phones to do – read the menu for you:
Snap a picture of, say, a dessert menu and the phone will recognise the characters and translate the words within a few seconds (www.tinyurl.com/3xryg6). The prototype shown to New Scientist can translate 9000 Chinese and 600 Japanese food-related words into English, with more language versions to follow.
So no more ordering fried noodles and getting cold buffalo penis, then.
