Google Translate Question
If I take a photo of a Khmer sign or document, then download it onto my laptop, can I use Google translate to translate it to English ?
If so, ,, how.

All nice, but at least on my phone Google tells me for Khmer the option is not available.

Same. It's available for some languages but not Khmer.

Re: Google Translate Question
If you do it with an English picture or document, you can use an OCR (optical character recognition) program to convert it to text. English OCR apps are getting more and more accurate.
Khmer OCR apps are being developed, but at this stage they are not very good. In a few years time they may be better.
If you can convert it to Khmer text, you can use a translation website to translate it. Even these are not very good yet.

Re: Google Translate Question
I don't know about documents but some have commented that Khmer is not an option when using Google translate.
If you use the Google translate app to speak Khmer to you, it will tell you that Khmer is not available, but if you use the web browser version (on your phone or a computer) it does speak the Khmer words to you when you want to translate words from English to Khmer.
This might be the case for documents also. Worth a try....

There's an alternative App for that. It's possibly not as quick as Google translate if google could translate it. However, it frequently is more accurate.

Weirdly this used to work on my phone, then suddenly a couple of months ago Khmer voice output was not available, and more recently it has started working again.
