Word Lens gives you translation on the go:

  • No network required - results appear immediately on your video screen when you need it, anywhere in the world.
  • Easy to use, like the regular camera
  • Look up translations by typing them in, or clicking on a word.

Available language pairs:

  • English ⇆ Russian
  • English ⇆ Spanish
  • English ⇆ French
  • English ⇆ Italian
  • English ⇆ German
  • English ⇆ Portuguese

Notes for getting the best quality out of your translations:

  • Best used on clearly printed text (e.g. signs, menus)
  • Does not recognize handwriting or stylized fonts
  • It's not perfect, but you can get the general meaning!
  • Keep text in focus by holding it at least one hand-length away and tap-to-focus if autofocus is struggling.
  • Turn on the flashlight (if available on your device)
  • Zoom in (if available on your device)

Some features are device dependent. Not all device cameras can zoom, nor do all devices have a flashlight.
