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.
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?
