Ultimately the core of Baidu’s translation app still remains its strongest point, and this is where it performs the best, as it provides sample sentences which give an idea of how to use a certain phrase in various situations. From our testing, it appears to work best with images that include larger font and words that can be clearly captured.Īll these image features may be useful, but only to a certain extent - and I don’t foresee myself using them frequently - but the feature has just shipped after all, and will surely improve over time as Baidu makes tweaks to it.įurthermore, image translation could work wonders in certain situations - such as when you visit a restaurant and take a picture of a menu you don’t understand, or if you need the name of something seen on the street in both languages. The ‘Photo’ feature in Baidu’s translation app also lets you translate words on photos from your camera roll - all you have to do is swipe across the words - as well as text on a screen, such as on a laptop, tablet or TV.
