Well I fapped. Is this thing for real? Pretty cool.

Yeah it's legit, it does more than just Spanish too.

Would like to see it on more sources, how often do you have a printer around to print out a phrase in perfect font? But it's cool nonetheless. Augmented reality is starting to become a reality (har har).

can't find it in the app store

"Dear Android...... THIS!!!"

@Morgan:

Looks like it is geared towards tourists that need to translate road signs/menus/etc.

@Lasse:

And yeah, I may not be a fan of Android but I don't think there should be apps that are only on one platform. Who knows when or even if it will come to Android, but it definitely should. But hey, Android users just got that awesome Google Maps upgraded application with 3D buildings and cached maps, well at least some phones using Android can anyway, I'm kinda jealous of that, it works both ways

you have to buy the language packs in the app

 

[006]

Yeah the app itself is free but language packs are $5 each. Also, the only pack available right now is Spanish. More are coming though.

Looks awesome. That translation in the video isn't exactly correct though, just like any translator does it messes up the grammar but of course it could help a lot for tourists to read stuff as said before
