## What is Erkenner?

Erkenner helps you to recognize text from picture. Once you get the text, you can search images or translate from the application. When you get a menu in a restaurant in foreign country and you don't have ideas what it is like, you may want to type it in web search to find images, or to translate. This application makes it easy to do it. You just need to take a picture, select the recognized texts, then tap image or translate button.
