Word Lens: Augmented Reality App Translates Street Signs Instantly | Gadget Lab. Word Lens for the iPhone is one of the most amazing apps we have ever seen. Take a look at this, but put down any hot liquids first. It’s an augmented-reality, OCR-capable translation app, but that’s a poor description. A better one would be “magic.” World Lens looks at any printed text through the iPhone’s camera, reads it, translates between Spanish and English.
That’s pretty impressive already — it does it in real time — but it also matches the color, font and perspective of the text, and remaps it onto the image. Impressed? We’ve tested the app, and it works just as shown in the video. In our tests, it worked smoothly, although the words had a tendency to wiggle around a bit, switching between English and Spanish and flipping between alternate translations. Word Lens is a taste of science fiction, something like a visual version of the universal translator or the Babelfish. Word Lens is free, and will do some fancy rearranging of words to show you how it works. See Also:
