I am honestly floored at all this app is capable of. The accuracy is amazing, it recognizes everything I have tried to take a picture of. The translation is perfect and I have tried so many variations. This is one app that is worth every cent; I simply cannot say enough positive things! 10 stars; HIGHLY recommend!!!
Perfect on the go!! Excellent for language learners!!

Who has time to look up words away from familiar territory? You're most likely taking pictures anyway... This app is great for getting an understanding about where you are and what's what. Capture the word or phrase in the camera and get an immediate translation. - For avid language learners like me, you can get the translation in the language you're learning in seconds. Practice ...on the go! If You purchase this app, you won't be disappointed!
Instant translation! Great for tourists!

What...no Latin?
fullbird06
Great app! Really like the sentence/phrase capability. Do research on historical mathematics and physics papers mostly written is German, Russian, AND Latin. Any chance of adding? Highly useful and recommended.
very impressive!

works exactly as described, with fast live translations. the whole sentence translation from pictures also works pretty well. from my initial testing, it seems to perform much better with Chinese vs European languages - it's amazingly accurate with Chinese characters, even easily recognizing multi-character words. there's also an offline dictionary for English to Chinese translation (but strangely, not the other way around). overall it's a really terrific app that could help language students and tourists. for future updates, I would really love to see optional downloadable offline dictionaries for languages other than Chinese (or at least add Chinese to english offline).
Bait and switch

Got it on sale, a few days later (before i even had a chance to play with it), they push through an "update" requiring the full price. Quite a surprise when i got the iTunes receipt.
This is an awesome translator app!!!

I love this app. You just point the sight at any word you want to translate and boom the translation appears. This app is great for travelers who frequent foreign countries and don't speak the language. This app can even save your life if you find your self lost in an unsafe area and you need to rely on signs to make your way to safety. I even use the app to translate words in books or even from the screen on my computer. Well worth the $$$.
Perfection!

This is a "MUST HAVE" app to take along when you travel. You just need to point your phone camera to any word or phrase you need translated and the app will do this for you. Imagine, foreign language signs and menus will no longer be a mystery! It translates from and to a variety of languages and speaks out words it recognizes using voice. The OCR is very fast and accurate. The Google and Wikipedia links are helpful as they can give additional information about words. The built-in dictionary allows you to use it in offline mode as well. A nifty flashlight is a huge boon for when you need extra illumination if it's dark. The interface rocks! It's professionally done and easy to use. There is no need for a manual for this app because the interface is really that good. The developers have thought everything through and executed it perfectly.
Horrible! It translates weird stuff!!

Every time I try to translate my Japanese books ,games etc.it translates very oddly. Ex: I give it my instruction book and it says the translation for this is: VoCRuoplg and crazy stuff like that. A waste of $4.00! :(
