Smartphone translation by OCR
I understand there is an iPhone app, Babelshot, that can use the camera to snap pictures of text (written in Roman scripts) and then apply machine-translation.
This is pretty cool - don't know how effective - but I'm wondering if any similar feat has been accomplished for non-Roman scripts on any smartphone platform? Considering that I have no idea how to input text from Cyrillic, Greek, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and many other languages... this would be a particularly useful tool.
