Word Lens - Instant translation app is now available for Android

Posted on 9:43 AM by Unknown

Word Lens, previously, was available for iOS only (iPhone app, iPad app), now they are available for Android OS at Google Play. It is a cool way to get instant translation for signs, noticeboards, bill boards, menus (preferably printed formats) etc. 


"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 
- Look up translations by typing them in, or clicking on a word.
Notes for getting 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 and tap-to-focus if autofocus is struggling.
- Turn on the flashlight (if available on your device)
- Zoom in (if available on your device)"


The World Lens app currently charges $4.99 for each language pack (available in Spanish, Italian and French languages). Other languages will soon follow. 


If you think it is priced high, you can use Google Goggles in your Android phone but is not as quick or instantaneous as World Lens app.
