There is good news for those of you that have smart phones – thats apparently 66 percent of Spain! The popular translation app “Word Lens” is now free! The company that created it, Quest Visual has been bought by Google and they have immediately made the app free for download – great for us!
We reviewed the app when it first came out back in 2010, but its always worth a refresher. The app translates any text that you can see through your smart phones camera lens, on the fly! So you just load up the app and then point your smartphone at some text (usually Spanish in our case right?) and it will automatically translate it in front of your eyes, its really weird but amazing, for example if you were pointing your phone at a document, what you see on the page would be in Spanish and what you see through your smartphone screen is English!
If you want to see how it works then there is a great video below…
You can download the app from the Apple App Store using the following link…
