Hi there,

I've installed Word Lens on my iPhone a while ago and was simply amazed how it works. You point your camera to a sign, text, menu and it translates it instantly I never really used it because the language packs were too expensive. But Google brought the company and now ALL the language packs are free for a limited time. Go get it, it's great for traveling Free for Android and iOS!

That's a superb app, well spotted.

It works like black magic - I was waiting for it to show a translation and then realised the wording was changed in realtime - looked like the sign was actually in the new language.

Burn the witches!

Does g00gle FORCE you to sign up for g00gle+ in order to get the APP? Or, in order to use the APP?

I would be surprised if they didn't.

Anyhow, it sucks that this evil company bought this amazing APP.

no, Google is not involved in the app yet. you don't need a Google+ account.

you can download it without any strings attached - all language packages within the app are still free of charge!

Black magic and witches?

How old are you? You sound very young.

Everyone knows that the Salem Witch Trials never even happened.

It only has 6 languages correct? Is it possible to get anymore because my language is not listed.
