Google translate introduces Google Goggles prototype which integrates Google’s machine translation and image recognition technology.

Google Goggles allows users to take a screen shot of a or any text via the phone and you can translate in real time with the help of Google Goggles prototype.

This technology uses the mobile phone camera as the source to take screen shot and which is sent to optical character recognition (OCR) engine, recognizes the image as text and then translates to English with the help Google translate.

Presently, this technology can function just for German & English translations. It is not fully equipped to face all the languages yet.
