I want to stop using Google translate app to translate text in pictures I take, which is something I often need to do while traveling abroad. Do you guys have any foss app recommendations? Or maybe a website?

      Just tried it, as I already had it downloaded for image manipulation and didn’t know about this feature

      Works really reasonable well

        The app is constantly getting updated so new features are added to it as well. Its a decent image editor with a lot of extra features. We doesn’t have to get multiple apps. Like a toolkit app for image.

      It looks good but how do you use it to translate? You need to copy the text and use another translation app?

        Yes. For now it does not support translate. To avoid google lense translate etc I think better to find an offline ai app. There are Whisper, SherpaTTS appds for voice recognition and text to speech. So there must be one to translate text as well. Let me search too. I think that is better and more accurate.

          Translate you, as suggested in another comment seem to be a good shot. It recognises the text from a picture, screenshot… and uses online translators. Too bad it can’t be offline.

      I’ve seen the app while researching but it wasn’t clear from the description that it can translate from images too. It’s looking good, thanks!

      Quite good. Translators aren’t great though. But it identifies the text from a screenshot and translate it. Too bad it doesn’t work offline with downloaded languages.
