Take a photo of a road sign, document, newspaper and it translates to a language of your choice, on the photo. Like Google Translate on steriods.

TextFind: Take a photo of some blob of text and its sole feature would be to give you a real life search. OCR behind the scene + grep with a nice little app GUI. 6 months later sell out to Apple || Google || Samsung for a decent amount and have it integrated into the base camera app.

Check out: Word Lens

It translates in real time using your device's camera (at least on Android).

Crowd translating the web is another interesting project.
