Just taking the photo to scan it will give you the results you crave, in a way that’s easier to read, but the instant translation is more useful, particularly on menus, to keep the text coupled with the photos.Įven though it’s not perfect, it’s still kind of hard to fully criticise a technology that seems so magical.
