Word Lens is a iPhone application that uses the camera on the iPhone to translate text in real-time. Instantly translate printed words from one language to another with your built-in video camera, in real time!You can use Word Lens on vacation, business travel, and just for fun. Its a unbelievable type of technology but true. Just watch video below ant feel themagic.
Word Lens is now available to download and use for free from the App Store.When you show this app some text written in Spanish, and you get an instant translation appearing on your iPhone screen in English. It also works the other way round English-to-Spanish.
Currently only two languages supported: Spanish to English and English to Spanish. This surely removes the language barrier when it comes to the written word. The app currently does the word-to-word translations and won’t take into consideration any grammar.
