camera capturing text translating app

[tiny_bits]

Hi

I need an application that can use the camera to capture something in front of me, written in Arabic,(like a sign for example) and translate it to English.
instead of me typing in the text in Arabic or speaking it to the phone.


is there such an app ?

Google Translate works great for this and the Play Store page claims Arabic:

"Break through language barriers with Google Translate:

• Listen to your translations spoken aloud
• Input using your voice, handwriting, and camera
• Save your favorite translations and sync them across devices

(Camera input and offline translation are available for Android 2.3 and above.)

Or does Arabic not work with the camera portion?
