Word Lens

It’s not often that I see a piece of technology that makes me go simply “Wow”.  However, Word Lens brings forth exactly that response.

It’s basically a translation application for the iPhone, but what makes it different is that it works through the camera lens – hold the phone up to a sign in Spanish, and it’ll translate it – immediately – into English.

The demo app is free – which either removes words, or reverses them – and English-Spanish or Spanish-English cost £2.99 each. I assume that there’ll be other languages before long, and I certainly hope so. This kind of application is exceptional, and something that could/should change the way some translation is done.

    I know – I was the same when I saw this. It’s like WITCHCRAFT!

    Anyway, how the devil are you, old fruit?
