Description
See the world in your language: instantly translate printed words using your built-in video camera, in real time! (PLEASE NOTE: language packs must be purchased separately from within the app.)
Buy language pairs using in-app purchase:
+ English ⇆ German
+ English ⇆ Italian

Try out the included modes first so you can see the technology in action. These built-in examples recognize words in
English, Spanish, French, and Italian.

white-out)
Word Lens gives you translation on the go:
- NO NETWORK required - results appear immediately on your video
screen when you need it, anywhere in the world.
- Easy to use, like the regular camera.
- Also look up
translations by typing them in.
Get the best quality out of your translations:
- Best used on clearly printed text (e.g. signs, menus).
-
Does NOT recognize handwriting or stylized fonts.
- It's not perfect, but you can get the general meaning!
-
Keep text in focus by holding it at least one hand-length away
(or even further for iPod and iPad owners).
iOS device support:
- iPhone 4S/4/3gs, iPod Touch with video camera, or iPad with video camera.
-
requires iOS 4.0 or later.
*** iPhone 3gs and iPod Touch do not have zoom or flash light features.
*** iPod
Touch and iPad 2 cameras do not have auto-focus feature, which will result in reduced translation quality.
