That’s what it does. Isn’t that amazing? That’s the English to French option and right now, as reported yesterday, you can get Word Lens and all its dictionaries for free.

I remember the day a group of us first saw Google Earth and one guy called it the most impressive thing he had ever seen on a computer. I agreed then, I agree now, yet with Google Earth you can comprehend how it works. It’s a lot of photographs of the Earth. Impressive, even staggering, but comprehensible.

I can’t comprehend Word Lens.

If it just translated, well, fine – listen to me using the word ‘just’ there – because you could rationalise that it must take a word and find whatever the dictionary says is the equivalent. But Word Lens does it in the font (or at least very nearly) of the thing you’re looking at. It does it in the image: it isn’t a report or a notification, it is in the photograph right where the original text was.

If you understand that, fantastic: I will love you forever for telling me.

But in the mean time, mind blown. Go grab it, okay? Word Lens for iOS is right here.
