This is a home-screen app for me. When I spot a character in Japanese that I can’t recognize this handy app will read it most of the time, depending on how small the font is or sometimes how rare the character is. It can even parse out character combinations quite often. These kinds of text-scanner/translators don’t always work perfectly in the field but I am quite satisfied with Worldictionary.
You can read about all the supported languages in the description and also that off-line dictionaries are available through an in-app purchase. After purchasing the app, I was disappointed to learn that the only off-line translations available were Japanese, Chinese and Korean. I contacted support, but there was no reply. Also note that some of the off-line dictionaries have only about 15,000 words meaning that they will translate very few words, if any, in an average sentence.
Its amazing how this works. All I have to do is point my camera!! A must have!
The Worldictionary instantly defines and translates words and sentences using the device's own camera using the view & translate function! Add that on top of a range of supported languages and additional results from reliable search providers, this is an indispensable tool and an invaluable pocket app!
I purchased this app for my mother to use while she was traveling abroad. Helped her out so much! Cheers!
I bought this app before a recent trip, it's stellar. A great app, I cannot recall the number of times it came handy. And the multiple language features are great.
I use it out to translate my French to English and it works great. The app is simple to use and you get instant translations. A good and useful app.
Need a translating application for your smartphone or tablet? Then you should try Worldictionary developed by Penpower Incorporated. But you may say, why not use the Google Translate? While the Google Translate app is good, this app will allow you to hold up your smartphone or tablet camera up in front of the document for instant word translation. It's a good expansion to the Google Translate app. Although this app is cool, it is not always 100% accurate. A good example is mixing up the lowercase letter “l” with the letter “t.” Sometimes, it doesn’t even recognize the sentence at all and gives me random words and letters. So you have to make sure your text is correct at first before translating. Also, the translations sometimes don’t make sense all the time, but that can be the fault of the translating service, not the application itself.
Nice app, reads straight away, no lack as other apps. Very useful.
The speed of technology innovation is just amazing. Electroinc dictionary without the need to type in the words... Life is good~
