Having a dictionary app is all good and well for languages you can type in your browser, but what happens when you come across a road sign in Greek, a drinks menu in Russian or a food wrapper in Ukrainian? A dictionary is not going to help you there- this is where Ling comes in. This simple app allows you to take a photo of any text and then submit it for a free, quick translation.
Ling combines a powerful Optical Character Recognition solution with Google Translate allowing your iPhone to translate the image data it receives from its camera into recognizable text in 32 languages and provides real-time translation of the resulting text.
Ling takes translation software to the next level. All on your iPhone. Simple.
The accuracy of Ling improves with the quality of the image used in the OCR and translation process. Make sure to get a clear image of the text you want translated, isolate it using the in-app crop function so as to focus on only what needs to be translated. With practice Ling will be a reliable companion.
