Are there any FOSS phone apps/ private alternatives for Google Translate for translating text from images? Or maybe a privacy-friendly alternative front-end for GT? The ability to translate from images (such as product labels in a store) is the main feature I’m looking for. TIA for any and all tips.
Mozilla just launched their privacy focused translation plugin not long ago: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/translate/
Thank you. I’ve tried it on desktop and I like it. I’m looking for a phone app for this use case (such as translating product labels when shopping).
I use Simple Translate Mobile on F-droid
Ah, well unfortunately you’re going to hit a dead end there most likely. Google’s live OCR is incredibly fast for what it does, and there are no open alternatives for most of what it can do (like vertical text recognition).
Is there a specific feature you need this for?
