Pretty good, within expected limitations

I sell antiquarian books, and purchased this app specifically to translate the title of a 40s military text. What I found, I could have predicted if I had thought it through. The program works very well with printed characters, but has great difficulty with script. this should not surprise us, as the script oftimes resembles art (calligraphy) rather than the printed form. The interface is pretty amazing. You can scan with a live feed, or take a picture. If you take a picture (this all happens directly in the program), you can resize and reposition not only the text you photographed, but the window in which the program analyzes the text. I am guessing the folks who downrated the program were using earlier versions, or simply did not understand the complexities of the task. You must also remember that, with most characters having a range of meanings, the program can not necessarily produce a literal, logical translation. As a result, the program has not got the utility I had expected. That is my fault, as I had not used such a prgram before, and therefore was not cognizant of the limitations inherent in this type of programming. This is worth 5 stars simply for the pleasure of using such a well thought out app. I think that with more time, I can produce a decent translation of the printed text I need. Pretty cool, when you think about what I am asking Japan Goggles to accomplish.
