How to use S Translator and the Optical Reader on the Samsung Galaxy S 4

Samsung added S Translator and an Optical Reader in the latest version of TouchWiz on the Galaxy S 4. S Translator is essentially a lesser version of Google Translate, and it allows you to get language translations via text or by the spoken word. It translates Brazilian Portuguese, English (UK), English (US), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish. If you're in another country, you could literally have a conversation with someone even if they don't speak the same language as you. S Translate also has predefined phrases for you to use and allows you to favorite some translations that you might use more often for quick access.

The optical reader also serves as a translator by scanning written text on documents. It can also scan QR codes as well as create a new contact based on information from a business card.

does it work without mobile data? if not it's kinda pointless, unless you buy a prepaid card with mobile data to the country/city everytime you travel.

How can you remove the Optical Reader once it is installed. It does not appear in the Application Manager to uninstall?

You needed to add the "?" at the end of the spanish ´hrase since it was a question.

I have the S4. I agree If they get it right it would be awesome. As it stands right now it's useless.

Can you recommend me a Sorry but this really is not a hard sentence, even if somebody does not speak spanish. If they have a basic knowledge of Latin they will get it. So
