App reviewers are calling it the first augmented reality app for iPhone that actually works.
Word Lens calls itself the dictionary of the future. It instantly translates printed words right before your eyes. Just point and shoot -- and while you're at it -- book that flight to Spain. (Video from Quest Visual)
The app itself is free -- but if you want it to actually translate anything that's about $5 per language pack. And it's only offered in English and Spanish.
Small setbacks. Still - anchors at Portland's KOIN and CNN are gushing.
"It's really incredible."
"It's so cool."
"That's awesome." (KOIN)
"It's magic."
"That's brilliant. What a great travel app." (CNN)
And a CNET review is just as full of high praise.
"This isn't some proof-of-concept video; this is how the app actually works. ... It's remarkable, especially considering that the app replaces the very text you see, in exactly the same size and orientation as you see it. It really is like wielding some magical language-translating lens. ... This may just be the coolest thing I've seen my iPhone do all year."
