LazyLearner Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 World Lens is an app that translates printed words from one language to another with the smartphone's camera in real time, and you don't need connection with the internet!Example:The company who made this app (Quest Visual) was recently bought by Google! I recommend this app to anyone who will travel to another country. It's a must have app! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackhaal Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Wow, thanks for the share. This looks like an amazing app. I can't wait to try it out. I don't have my phone with me, or else I would. It looks too good to be true. I can't believe that it actually translates whatever's on the sign and pastes the English version onto the sign itself :amazed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyLearner Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yes, it's true and amazing! Of course it doesn't work perfectly, but it's still impressive, and I hope that it will get even better now that it's a Google product.In the store there is a few recommendations to use the app, check out:- Best used on clearly printed text (eg signs, menus).- NOT recognize handwriting or stylized fonts.- Not perfect, but you can get the general meaning!- Keep the text in focus by holding it at least one hand away.
