Handheld scanners that let you scan newspaper or books and then convert the scanned images to text using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology is probably nothing new to you. But a handheld scanner that is intelligent enough to auto search Google or Wiki to translate the scanned text could be the first time you’ve heard of.
The Dixau is one of the smart handheld scanners that we’re talking about here. This little handheld scanner lets you scan the text and then automatically makes use of Internet translation portal such as Google or Wiki to translate the scanned text for you.
Unfortunately, this handheld scanner is meant for the Korean only. Once it’s being used to scan over a book in English, it’ll automatically convert the scanned image into text and sends the text to the Internet for translation instantly. The device is to be hooked up to your computer’s USB port. And it’ll pop up a little window at the right-hand bottom corner of your computer screen to show you the scanned text and also the translation from English into Korean. It’s such a great helper for those having low English reading power.
