The Concept Behind TGPhoto

TGPhoto was designed to help travelers and business persons all over the world, who are constantly bombarded by foreign language signs at the airport, in town, in taxis and almost everywhere they turn. TGPhoto turns “foreign to me” into “now I see”. Just start the TGPhoto application on your Android device, fill as much of the screen as you can with the foreign writing, touch the shutter button in the upper right hand column, and seconds later you can view your translation on your phone.
