Google Goggles

Google Goggles is an official app developed by Google that lets you scan practically anything in search of more information about it. You just have to point your device's camera at whatever it is you want to scan and then take a picture of it, and in seconds, the app will show you information about it. Google Goggles is capable of recognizing famous people, well-known works of art, movie posters, book and magazine covers, and even fictional characters. It can also read bar codes and show you the exact item each code refers to. Another interesting feature of Google Goggles is that it lets you instantly translate any text into the following languages: French, English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, and Russian. Google Goggles is a lightweight app (hardly 3 megabytes) that lets you transform your Android device into an authentic futuristic machine capable of recognizing people, artwork, and even soup cans, just by pointing your device's camera.
