We often go to foreign places for a visit like for a holiday or for work purposes and often find it difficult to communicate as we are not really familiar with the specific native language of that place, for instance, Chinese, Arabic etc. Imagine a situation you are in China and you see a signboard of a restaurant but you don't know what's written in there, here comes our role, you just need to click a picture of the text and upload it and not only you will get the translated version in your chosen language but it will also recognize the text and will give you a text format which you can edit according to you. It supports multiple languages like Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, English and many more...Also there are some documents in the form of images that are written in some other languages using this application you can get the text version of that document also translate it.
The major problem we ran into was using the API for language translation..Most of the API's were paid and by using other API's we got the error of an invalid API key. Language detection and to show the list of languages supported was also handled by some API's
