It would seem, Google Translate has become almost perfect app interpreter for Android, and with Goggles enough to photograph text in a foreign language, then the application will translate. However, all this only if there is an Internet connection.
Progress does not stand still, and recently became the most relevant translators working in augmented reality mode. If you are not familiar with similar software on Android, then as a free trial version of the application suitable Word Lens Lite.
Working with a translator is very simple: you just point the camera of the smartphone in the text, and in real time displayed on the screen translation.
Word Lens obvious advantage is the lack of the need to connect to the Internet, as dictionaries are inherently present in the application. In addition, the transfer is carried out "on the fly", so to take a picture, too, is not required.
Unfortunately, at the moment the application disadvantages far outweigh its advantages. Firstly, there is the Russian language. This fact will stop the majority of Russian-speaking people from buying
full version. Secondly, the very set of languages is still very modest. In particular, it supports translation from English into French, Italian, Spanish, and vice versa. Of course, the application can help, if you know English well, but then pops up one more disadvantage - price policy. Each language pack is purchased for a sum. Of course, if you have the support of the Russian language many would be enough only one packet EN-RU, but so far even that option is not available. We hope that over time the number of supported languages to increase and the price of the application is below.Word Lens Lite | Google Play Store (Free demo version)
