<p>[QUOTE="Andrew McCabe, post: 3559116, member: 90666"]I picked up a new phone last week, and found it had an intriguing new app that wasn't present on my old model phone. When you have a page of text in a different language, you point your phone camera at the text, press a "T" for text button, and it provides you with an immediate OCR rendition on your phone screen, as well as an instant translation. The feature is so seamless that it allowed me to start consuming a densely written book in German with a reading speed almost as fast as if I were reading it in English. You turn a page, press the relevant "T" button which takes all of one second to give you a clear translation on your phone screen, and read in comfort and with clarity on your phone screen until the end of the page, then repeat until the book is finished. In my case the digital assistant was "Bixby" but I assume the same or similar is available from "Cortona", "Alexa", "Siri" etc., allowing you to read directly from a foreign language book without having capture photos permanently or upload anything to a PC.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, no need to be scared of those foreign language numismatic books any more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
