Needs a lot of work
Out of sheer desperation, I found this app, which is something all other translation apps need to be able to do, take existing text and verify accuracy visually. While I was using hand written letters from my great-aunt to my late grandmother, the app would add characters or misinterpret characters, something I expected as the letters were hand written. To callibrate, I selected printed pages from a Japanese-English dictionary and was met with similar if not more severely flawed results. I was unable to have this app successfully read "February" written in any form of Japanese in physical type written print or hand written. App is sorely needed to fill the gap especially for non-Latin based languages.
