Nice if this would ever come out, People never have to learn a thing. There cellphones are doing all the work :) But so addictive

Hey cause it seems like you guys are crazy smart, could you make an app that, maybe uses a similar technology, to be able to identify plants, animals, and fungi? You could make it into a database where the users of the app put in the information, much like Wikipedia, so its ever evolving. I'd really like to be able, in my wood travels, to take my non existing iphone, and scan an organism with it and know all about it. I feel that that would be awesome.

He has a valid point. I think that they are just putting pressure on themselves to develop it by saying it exists. I know people who do that all the time. Arnold Schwarzenegger used to go to the gym and cut off shorts to motivate himself to get his calfs pumped because he was embarrassed.

Like the concept but in reality is horribly laggy and unreliable. I tried using the backwards words demo and it flickered words over the image such that only about 30% of the words were translated at any given time. Translations often changed as they flickered. I used an iPod Touch 4G, which is theoretically supposed to be the fastest iPod Touch (though not as fast as the iPhone 4S or iPad 2/3)

Did you not even look at the video info? First line: link to app store page for video. As for your conspiracy theory bit about the video not lining up between teh cell phone and the live view, the cellphone is having to 1) take the image 2) scan it for text. 3) parse that text and see if it fits in the current language to translate settings 4) translate it 5) clear the old text from teh image and then 6) replace it with translated text. A little bit of screen lag is to be expected.

Try out the app 'Place'. You can speak out your question to it, and it will give a list of the best, nearby places. It then even guides you to the place using augmented reality. It's really cool!
Check it out here: itunes.apple.com/us/app/place/id511858002?ls=1&mt=8

this is a concept video it does not exist the creators of the concept created this video & sold it to google. .it has classic tell tale signs of trying to convince the viewer that both images are the same. look close her finger placement, hair etc is not the same if you pause anywhere in video.. prove me wrong and show us a link to the working app. it does not exist

I think it makes pretty good sense.. no you shouldn't use it a business meeting, as it's most likely not perfect, but when walking around in town or wherever you might be going on a vacation or so, it could be very handy to get a general idea of whether a sign is saying "Warning! shooting range!" or simply "thanks for visiting".. basically simple everyday stuff where accurate grammar doesn't matter that much. ^^

Word Lens is a dictionary -- evolved. It looks up words for you, and shows them in context. You can use Word Lens on your vacations to translate restaurant menus, street signs, and other things that have clearly printed words.
Word Lens has its limits. Sometimes the translation will have mistakes, and may be hard to understand, but it usually gets the point across. If a translation fails, there is a way to manually look up words by typing them in. Word Lens does not read very stylized fonts, handwriting, or cursive. Try it, and tell us what you think! Less
