So the plan was to wake up an hour early today and finish my Calc2 takehome quiz… would’ve gone a lot better had I actually been able to sleep. Got a great idea at work yesterday, combine a TV tuner card with optical character recognition software. Feed the resultant text to something like babelfish, then (possibly) overlay the translation back over the image. Result? Real-time text translation. Purpose? Play Japanese games in Engrish.
This is one of them things I’d try to patent if I had the money to patent things, unforunately I do not, but honestly it’d just be cool as hell if the thing came into being since I could be playing all them crazy Japanese games that’ll never get released stateside, like Kami’s Cosmic Dog Catcher Flareup or Drunken Irish Bearding 2: Chunnel Chunnel Anger.
