Thing Translator is a web app that lets you point your phone (or laptop) at

stuff to hear to say it in a different language. It was developed as part of

Google's [AI Experiments](https://aiexperiments.withgoogle.com/) project. You

can try the app [here](https://thing-translator.appspot.com/).

Behind the scenes Thing Translator is using Google's

[Cloud Vision](https://cloud.google.com/vision/) and

[Translate](https://cloud.google.com/translate/) APIs.

### Development

To start a development server on `9966` that will watch for code changes simply run:

```

$ npm start

```

You will need to set your API key in `src/config.js`.

To optimize the output for production, run:

```

$ npm run build

```

For production builds, replace the contents of the `api_key` file with your

production key.

If you'd like to create a fork or a similar project, you'll need to setup some

API keys on [Google Cloud Platform](https://cloud.google.com/).
