The new "Smart Select" of Note4 feature allows you to capture any part of the screen and perform a OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to gather the text content. With this capability and coped with Google Translate, I am able to capture most Chinese or other kanji characters for translation. Here's how it works...
With the stylus, hover near the screen and click on the stylus button
With the wheel menu pops up, select SMART SELECT option.
Choose the text or graphic which you need the OCR to function upon (could be a text or picture)
Once captured, you'll see the text appears on screen only. Click on the T icon to perform OCR.
Once the text can be recognised, it will appear as the screen above. Click on the share link
Share the contents to Google Translate and viola!
You may not get a full meaningful translation all the time but it basically gives you an idea what the text is all about...
