Word Lens

This just blows me away. Technology that just surprises me completely.

Only one language for now (Spanish, natch), but think of the possibilities.

Word Lens: available now.

Just saw a segment on this on the news tonight. Pretty damn cool! And it's such a simple idea, I'm surprised no one thought of it 'til now.

Oh, I think the idea has been there,

it's the technology that turns it into an

instant translation in such a small package that's so amazing.

Yes, it's not for completely accurate full renditions,

but I can think of times looking at a menu while overseas

and having to get out a Larousse in order to decipher

whether an omelet has ham.
