Word Lens

What is most surprising about this application, in addition to the automatic translation, is that shows what the poster would look like in our language. Download Word Lens is free, but does not include dictionaries The free download shows how the app works but doesn't translate anything, it just flips the words or deletes them from the sign. To have the application with the translation function you have to buy the dictionaries Only the version of Spanish to English is available and English to SpanishEach one costs eight euros

This application is ideal for travel. Especially since you don't need to be connected to the Internet to use it. Something that is appreciated with how expensive the Internet connection rates are from the mobile abroad. It can be used anywhere and anytime Although this attribute also becomes a great disadvantage. To do this instant translation which does not require internet, the app translates word by word Thissometimes causes translations that are absurd or out of context.

Its use is very simple. Once inside the application focus the camera on the text to be translated and immediately the text appears in the desired language In the case ofcameras iPod Touch and iPad 2 quality may be reduced as their cameras do not have autofocus.When interpreting texts, keep in mind that Word Lens is designed to interpret mainly posters and menus. This means that it does not recognize handwriting or printed text with highly stylized characters. It cannot translate an entire book either, although yes small passages

Word Lens is currently available for Apple devices , but work is underway to develop it on Android, Windows Phone and Blackberry This application is intended for people who travel a lot abroad The price of this Word Lens may seem excessive, but its originality and instant translation make it worth it for many people.
