Visiting our fine English-speaking lands will soon become marginally more comfortable for tourists from Japan. Company Mediaseek has announced the release of the mobile application “Camera Dictionary”, which allows for the instantaneous translation of printed English words to Japanese, merely by scanning them with the mobile’s camera. Normal English-Japanese translators require the manual input of words via keyboard, which is relatively slow and error prone. This new method will both increase accuracy, and significantly reduce the amount of time our Japanese visitors take in deciphering, say, a restaurant menu.
