"Looks like magic It is almost hard to believe what this does at first, but it works very well! The overlay with similar fonts and colors are impressive. " --Jeremy G
"Great to use with vocabulary acquistion in my
classroom for ELL students. " --Ana Sanchez
"Brilliant I originally gave this 2 stars as it used to be very jumpy making it unusable, all the updates since have made this a brilliant app now, works brilliantly." --A Google User
"Dictionary, not translator Pretty impressive so long as you
accept that its a
word by word translation, so you wont necessarily get a grammatically correct result..." --Will Hirsch
"Mind boggling! This is the most astonishing use of
modern technology Ive ever seen. This is some full-on Star Trek stuff. You WILL be amazed!" --Shane Bobane
?AndroidCentral Review?All-in-all, Word Lens does reasonably well for isolated words like you might find on
road signs or menus, but not particularly well for longer sentences. The fact that you have to pay for multiple languages is a bit of a stinging point, but its easy to imagine the developer simply releasing multiple, separate apps for each language instead.
The good: - Original, futuristic idea - Fast
The bad: - Lengthy translations hard to interpret - Microtransactions required for multiple languages
Conclusion: For individual words, Word Lens performs admirably, but dont expect, clean and concise translations of longer phrases, let alone full paragraphs. Its really too bad that Word Lens doesnt currently offer quite the utility it advertises, but its still a novel concept and makes significant strides towards creating an awesome future without language barriers. For casual, simple, speedy translations, Word Lens will likely be good enough, but it is far from a full replacement for Google Translate.
The best-case scenario for Word Lens is that it offers both local translations as well as cloud-based ones, that way you could get the rough gist of a phrase without having to worry about processing time or roaming fees, but still having the ability to refine results into properly-formed sentences in the right circumstances. As is, Word Lens is successful as a novelty and a decent translation tool for individual words (if not whole sentences).
