Word Lens for iPhone

If you think reality can beat science fiction, you need to check what Quest Visual has been doing. Theey've just launched an iPhone App that will blow your mind away, and it's called Word Lens.

What if you could point your iPhone camera to any text or sign, and see its text immediately translated?

Sure, there are already several Apps doing similar stuff, like Google Goggles, but not like this. With this Word Lens you don't have to carefully align your camera, wait for the photo to be converted and the text recognized and then translated: you just point it and see the results immediately!

Can you imagine how useful such an App can be, especially if Quest Visual adds languages like Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hindu, and such? Truly mind blowing!
