APIs we will use
##API
Our application need to dictionary, search and image API. First we find wanted Korean dish through a search API. Dictionary API translate Korean menu into English or wanted language and they show us translated menu name. And we can look at menu image through image API. Finally we can easily order dinner.
In order to find suitable image API, we consider google, naver, microsoft and daum open API. We select the most famous naver open image API in Korea because this application used in Korea. And naver open image API has a many merit. And we select the bing transte API because nevaer dictionary API service has terminated and google translate API is not free. And in order to provide transcription function, we use Glosbe API that convert text from one script to another
