Wordlens
Traveling can be a lot of fun, seeing the world, eating the different foods, and the culture? There are all the museums.
There is a downside however... If you travel to a foreign country it can be a daunting task to read the signs.
Wouldn't it be great if you didn’t need a translator or tour guide to explain what you're looking at? There’s an app for that, and it’s called Wordlens.
Wordlens is an app that allows you to hover over any text in Spanish, French, Italian and of course English... and it magically translates on the fly.
Never again will you have to worry about ordering goats brains in France.
The real practical applications for this app are numerous. It can translate in either direction, making it good for you and for your foreign friends.
You can even write down what you want to say, and Wordlens will translate it into their language instantly.
For $5 bucks, It’s the best bang for the buck in translation apps.
