What the Thing ?

     

Point camera at things to learn how to say them in a different language.

Native Android App built with React Native.

Made it as a part of my learning process of React and React Native.

Inspired by Thing Translator by dmotz.

    

How it works ?

Concepts present in captured image are extracted and translated to the given language.

It uses

• Clarifai's concept recognition from images
• Yandex's language translation.

Download Signed Release for Android

what_the_thing_1.1.0-release.apk

Try it ?

Get the signed release apk for android from here or follow the steps to build it yourself.

Have a look at the React-native Docs to set up a development environment for React-native and Android.

# Install react-native
$ sudo npm install -g react-native-cli

# Clone repository
$ git clone https://github.com/vigzmv/what_the_thing.git
$ cd what_the_thing

Get your free API keys from Clarifai and Yandex. It is easy and free.

Place them in ./apiKeys.json.

# Install required packages
$ yarn install || npm install

# Install the application on a running Android emulator or a connected Android device
$ react-native run-android

# Run the server/bundler
$ react-native start

# Done !

---

For a build that doesn't reqire the development server:

# Bundle debug build
$ react-native bundle --dev false --platform android --entry-file index.android.js --bundle-output ./android/app/build/intermediates/assets/debug/index.android.bundle --assets-dest ./android/app/build/intermediates/res/merged/debug

# Create debug build
$ cd android && ./gradlew assembleDebug

# Generated apk will be located at android/app/build/outputs/apk. Install it with
$ adb install app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug.apk

I would be releasing a signed apk package soon which could be installed directly to device for usage.

what_the_thing's Issues

Issue to upload Gifs

Error: Server returned response error code: 500

I try to run it. But I am getting server error code 500.

Issue with Clarifai

Clarifai has recently switched to API Keys replacing Access Tokens/Client ID & Secret. Read about it here.

Access Tokens/Client ID & Secret can no longer be created. Clarifai only issues API keys now. But the new API key feature isn't completely compatible with the clarifai javascript client yet.

Hence those who want to build this themselves have to wait till clarifai fixes this issues. (And also this issue with react native). This is really frustrating.

However you can get the signed release apk for android from here to try it.

About popup on released apk trimmed

The popup seems to be trimmed as in the attached image. Not a big issue, but wanted you to note. Great project by the way 😄

Add to F-Droid

Should be a no-brainer :)

Update the version of RN

Its currently in 0.59 and the project in 0.41

How to import into Android-Studio?

I get this error when importing:

Error:(68, 0) Could not read script 'D:\android\Android studio Projects\what_the_thing\node_modules\react-native\react.gradle' as it does not exist.

Have anyone met this problem like me? Sorry, I'm newbie to this.
