Word Lens, Translate Those Spanish Signs in Real Time

"Everyone this morning is talking about Word Lens, a new iPhone app that translates what's in front of you in real-time. It uses your iPhone's camera to find words in real life -- on signs, buildings, etc. -- and then translates them on-the-fly. And it looks pretty amazing."

This, in a word, is incredible. And from the looks of the video it is pretty fast, almost instantaneous, and no Internet connection is needed to use the app. The app is free on iTunes [link] but you need touse in-app purchasing to get the various language dictionaries you need. So don't be under the impression you will be able to use this right away, you still have to part with $4.99 USD to get the functionality. However, that is the 50% off price that expires at the end of the year so you only have about 12 days to get that deal. You can find more about this program at Quest Visual.
