Worldictionary for Positive User Reviews
✓ This is an awesome translator app!!!I love this app. You just point the sight at any word you want to translate and boom the translation appears. This app is great for travelers who frequent foreign countries and don't speak the language. This app can even save your life if you find your self lost in an unsafe area and you need to rely on signs to make your way to safety. I even use the app to translate words in books or even from the screen on my computer. Well worth the $$$..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Great Translation App!You can simply point the camera towards single words to get an instant translation, or take a photo of a sentence/paragraph and have it translate the entire sentence. You can translate from your language to a foreign language as well - without any textual image. Just select the sentence translation, use a random photo, manually enter whatever you want to translate and it'll make the translation. You can even have it speak the translation! More common languages use a human speech, less common languages (Albanian, etc.) use a computer voice. I don't travel very often; but, this is one of those apps that's just great to have on hand -- you never know when you might need to do a quick translation from a foreign language or to help speak with someone that doesn't speak your language..Version: 3.7.0
✓ Amazing for trips!!!This is a must have Utility app if you are traveling to a foreign country! If you can't read a sign or something, just open up Worldictionary and it uses the camera to translate that word! The best feature is that you can save a picture with multiple sentences on it and then go back later and select certain words to translate. Great if you need to refer back to a foreign message or when you're studying! It would be even better if you could select multiple words at once! This app is worth way more than the 3.99! Everyone with an iPhone should have this app!!.Version: 3.3.0
✓ Very clever tool with loads of potentialAmazed that for a few bucks I can hold in my hand such a powerful and portable translation tool. The links to Google are a nice touch. Plenty of language options too. This would be a Must Have App for anyone traveling OS. I look forward to further updates. I have a feeling this App is going to be huge !.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Great app, best of its kindI've had the opportunity to test this application out for a few hours and I've tired other apps similar to this. By far, this app is the best of its kind no doubt about it. Even though the price is a bit steep, it'll pay off eventually and is worth the money, no doubt about it. Very helpful and worked great without any problems. Highly reccomended. 5/5 Stars.Version: 3.0.0
✓ Must have for any international travellerBrilliant app. Recommended to any international travelers. Just aim the camera at a picture/sign to translate it. Very simple to use..Version: 3.1.0
✓ A great translation appThe unique feature of this app is that you just need to point your iPhone camera to the word, and you get translation result instantly. On the other hand, you can also take a photo, and the app will do an OCR, and translate the whole sentences. You can choose different most popular online translators, and the recognition rate and the translation quality are both pretty good. I think it can be the only translation app that you need..Version: 3.6.0
✓ Instant HelpWow this is just like magic, with a steady hand within seconds you can be translating words into your chosen language or from a language you don't know into your preferred language. I am heading off on a world tour and this app is going to be fantastic when i need to translate menus and maps. Really blown away by how quickly it works, great job guys i will be using this non stop thank you..Version: 3.2.0
✓ This is sooo goodThis is über cool especially for sales people wanting to get insider information or when I am on eBay trying to translate. A++++.Version: 3.3.0
✓ Great conceptTranslating from Japanese to English is quite accurate character by character. Room for improvement but a really solid app and the developer is very good with answering feedback..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Great AppDefinitely recommend for anyone who is travelling or someone stuck with language homework.Version: 3.2.0
✓ World class translation.This was perfect for me and my wife on holiday. We decided to go somewhere that didn't cater well for the English language so we could see more of traditional Spain and we ended up using this app all over the place on menus, signs, adverts, information posters, anything really, the conversion never let us down and we're certain we'd have never been able to experience this area so well with the aid of this app (or spending a could of years learning the language first!!) We can't wait to use it again on our next holiday and it'll surely come in handy on my international business trips too!.Version: 3.2.0
✓ Stunning!!This app is amazing, will defiantly use this all the time at home on the go and overseas. Must have app for any traveller.Version: 2.3.0
✓ First class useful travel app!I really like this app! The interface is smooth and slick and I have found it to work very well! One feature I would like to request to make a five star rating would be Thai to English translation / recognition. Top app highly recommended!.Version: 2.3.0
✓ Definitions & Translations!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!.Version: 3.7.0
✓ BrilliantPlanning on going for a few weeks to China for travel so this will be very handy! I tested it on a few books I have and it's been working great. It's also nice to have the option to pick and choose the features you buy and not just be dragged into buying them all for a fortune. So I just got what I needed..Version: 4.3.0
✓ Accurate and awesomeReally good app and its worth every penny. The voice feature help pronounce the words perfectly and great while travelling or to buy something with a label in a language I don't know.Version: 3.7.0
✓ Fantastic technology !This is so cool! What a technology ! I was looking for English - Chinese dictionary/translator app for some time and I finally found it. The best thing about this app is that it doesn't need internet connection at all! Perfect for someone like me who works with Chinese customers. What I also like is that this app comes with the big selection of other language and I can choose which translator to use - Bing or Google..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Another Great AppI downloaded this app and kept an open mind with it. Well it blew my mind. It's works great and a lot better than I thought it would. Worth every cent. These guys do a get job making apps. Keep up the wonderful work..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Completely awesomeThe way this app picks up the text is completely amazing and it translates it perfectly :) no longer do I have problems when I go abroad :).Version: 3.5.0
✓ Amazing! Brilliant App! Worth x10 the Price!!When I downloaded the app, my first impression was WOW! It has proved invaluable and it's one of those things that once you use it once, you'll just keep keep using it, and it's become a part of my life! The cool graphics, slick and smooth design alongside the awesomely quick text recognition and instant results is amazing! Well worth a look, I promise you won't be disappointed!!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Powerful dictionary!!Now I don't have to worry anymore to go traveling or learning new language on the go. Credits go to this now. Keep it up!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great app for overseasI wish I had this app last time I travelled overseas. See something in another language you want translated? Point your iPhone camera and bam it is instantly translated for you. A great app which will ensure you never end up in france in a expensive restaurant eating frogs legs because you didn't understand the menu. Great app much enjoyed. Get it now!.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Beautiful and accurateA beautifully designed app that works great. The recognition is extremely accurate and very simple to use. A highly recommended app..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Brilliant!I have been waiting so long for an app like this to come out, within my business I have to travel a lot and it is a pain not knowing how to get to some places half the time and going through a translator trying to translate what a sign says so I would be standing there for quite a while trying to read one sign, with this app, it’s amazing you can take a photo of a sign if you don’t know what it says and it will translate it for you into English instantly, I love using this app to translate overseas it really does help me out. Not to mention this app works as a translator as well it can translate full sentences and even has a dictionary function to specify what some words mean if you are unsure. So in my onion this is definitely the best translation app I have ever come across and my favourite function would be the touch and translate feature with you tap an image and it translates it instantly I tell you what PenPower Tech I honestly cannot wait until your next release! Your apps so far are amazing! Thanks keep up the great work!.Version: 3.0.0
✓ Amazing app!This app is incredible. It allows me to point it at any printed word or sign and it will instantly translate it for me. It's really accurate and very simple to use. If your travelling a lot or even wanting to learn the language its a great way to understand specific words. I cannot recommend this app enough! well worth downloading!.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Solid TranslatorI 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..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Helpful for deciphering those foreign menusIf you’re travelling overseas, or just out and about and in need of some quick word translation, then Worldictionary can get the job done. A good start compared to some of the more expensive translating apps that also make you purchase additional languages in-app - with worldictionary, you get them included! Good for me!.Version: 2.0.0
✓ VERY COOL APP, SUPER HELPFUL TOO...As a primary school teacher, I am expected to teach French once a week to my Year 1 students. This App is such a revelation. With easy scanning, I can translate English into French immediately. You can imagine that 5/6 year old children want to know the translation of a lot of words in French that I simply do not know. This App is worth its weight in gold. (5 gold stars from this teacher!).Version: 3.2.0
✓ Outstanding App!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..Version: 3.6.0
✓ Easy to use!Found the App quite instinctive to use. Help guide very concise & made use even easier. Light levels could be a problem at times as could my hand shaking Used the App with both Spanish & French text. In conclusion a very handy App for the traveller.Version: 2.1.0
✓ GreatIts easy to use and is very quick to translating the whole sentence and it is very useful when I'm travelling to a foreign country. It also a very good app to have it in my iPhone. Cool!!!.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Perfection!This is a "MUST HAVE" app to take along when you travel. You just need to point your phone camera to any word or phrase you need translated and the app will do this for you. Imagine, foreign language signs and menus will no longer be a mystery! It translates from and to a variety of languages and speaks out words it recognizes using voice. The OCR is very fast and accurate. The Google and Wikipedia links are helpful as they can give additional information about words. The built-in dictionary allows you to use it in offline mode as well. A nifty flashlight is a huge boon for when you need extra illumination if it's dark. The interface rocks! It's professionally done and easy to use. There is no need for a manual for this app because the interface is really that good. The developers have thought everything through and executed it perfectly..Version: 3.2.0
✓ WowWow really cool, and it really did save a lot of time. Ill be using this a lot more :).Version: 3.2.0
✓ Awesome appA great app its 21 different language recognition and advanced search result are a plus..Version: 3.6.0
✓ Good idea, but recognizition isn't always 100% accurateNeed 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..Version: 3.2.0
✓ EffectiveI'm one of those people who doesn't always see the point to some apps, and this was one of them. Here's the question I asked myself when using this app; Is this a real world faster way of translation than just going straight to google and typing away? The short answer is no it isn't any quicker, but it is an alternative method. All you need to do to look up a word is hold the camera ideally 6 inches away from a word and it'll pick it up in around 4 seconds, making it effective at finding words but not exactly rapid. Graphics wise the app looks good and is well polished, and it never crashes, meaning it's stable. Overall this app is more a novelty than a real world productive app. Effective yes, time wasting? Maybe. I personally found it quicker to go straight to Google with a word and translate it there than boot up the app, wait for it to load, scan a picture, then grab the result. Overall: 3.5 out of 5 (can't give it half stars).Version: 2.3.5
✓ A International consultants/Vacationeers dream!If you travel internationally for vacation or business to a country which you may not fully understand the language yet or you want to be positive on what it says then I guarantee that this is the app for you! Okay here’s the thing, I work as an international consultant where I get paid to go from one country to another in a short period of time promoting what my company has to offer to very large industries, I can speak some Japanese, French & German but not very well and when I’m out a good example for me using this app is in China when I went to a restaurant I found it very hard to read the menu considering I’m horrible at Mandarin so I got out my iPhone and scan the menu items and this app translates them in real time so all’s I have to do is put the little cross hair over the word and voila Roast Duck. Another great thing that the app helps with is when I am driving past signs on the highway all I have to do is point the cross hair and bingo take the exit! I find it amazing how technology has changed over the years, who knows what’s in store for the next few. I just wanted to say a quick thanks to the Penpower team, you guys are awesome! -Andrew.Version: 3.1.0
✓ The best translator I have usedThis is a really handy piece of software that does exactly what it sets out to do. Being able to translate even Chineese and Japanees which are complex langauges in their own right and the app translates them with ease is quite a feat! It is really handy tool to take on holiday abroad to use from reading road signs and menus and information guides. I made good use of it on my holiday to Majorca and have used it at work to transcribe french and documents I often recive and need to translate. Good value and is easy to use sums Worlddictionary up..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Top NotchReally good app, fairly easy to use and will recognise words in any situation. It's great being able to reference words against Wikipedia & Google as well..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Nice App!I enjoyed the interface and the style of translating from one language to another. Of course with any type of translation software it's not perfect, but still you get the idea of what you are reading and maybe learn how to read a language that's not familiar to you..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Worldictionary instant translator for business travelers, parents and moreWorldictionary is a great new app for travelers andbusiness people. Also excellent for parents with a child learning a second language in school. So virtually a good tool for anyone. The app sells for $5.99 and uses the camera feature of your iPhone. It provides instant translation for travelers - a feature that would come in extremely handy for instance if needing a quick translation of a roadside sign in Mexico. Worldictionary is by PenPower Technology and it works well with IPhone 3GS and it also runs nicely on the IPhone 4 and Ipad 2. Point the camera at the word and translate. A network-connection is required. There are 21 languages covered . The app needs iOS 4.2 or later to run smoothly for character recognition. This app is worth it. I used several of my kid's French texts to see how the translations compared and was amazed at how fun and simple this app is to use. It provides translation of two adjacent words as well. The only improvement would be if the app translated entire sentences. I give the app a 4 1/2 star rating. ( original review at thriftymommastips blog).Version: 2.2.1
✓ Amazing App!Hands down best translation app on this app store, not a single problem has arose when using it thus far. Love the user interface, awesome developer help and great price! This is going to be helpful in Europe tomorrow. I am leaving today and will use this a lot tomorrow. AWESOME!!!! :D BUY IT!.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Hottest Item On iPhoneThis Application is Awsome - Multiple Language Translater & Spell Checker in one Application - Well Thought Out - Very Easy to Use ! This Brings Futuristic Technology NOW ! Why not World Geography - History - You Name It - All I Can Say "Bring It On " !.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great flawless app for point and translate in the real world!What a great app. This will really help with me learning Swedish and Chinese. At the moment I am learning through reading comic books with my 7 year old, who will also love how easy it is to point at a word we don’t know and get an immediate translation, which to date has worked flawlessly. For anyone trying to learn a language this is a great tool to use instead of copy and paste and typing into a phone whilst reading. I imagine it would also be great for travelling. I have also used it to translate posts on Facebook etc from friends in Finnish, French and Swedish and it works great. Highly recommended! Bushmanbob.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Wow!Its amazing how this works. All I have to do is point my camera!! A must have!.Version: 3.7.0
✓ Fantastic App!!Worldictionary is a great application that everyone should have installed! On first launch . . . thats it, The app instantly opens and starts translating straight away, its crazy, within one or two seconds the app is recognising the words and translating them into the chosen language, Very impressive! The user interface is nice and friendly, almost anyone no matter what age could pick up this app and start using it instantly. The ability to import a photo is useful for times you are out and about, and the history helps find a recently looked up word quickly. It's also great that the camera zooms automatically and adjusts, saving time and hassles. All translations and languages are accurate, saving potential embarrassing moments, and sounding out words helps get the pronunciation just right. Overall this is a great application for anyone who needs to translate languages and doesn't want to type paragraphs and paragraphs of text, or for anyone who will be going on holidays. 5 Starts, a MUST have!.Version: 3.2.0
✓ AmazingGreat alternative to World Lens with more languages and freedom! Great App which works great! You must get this App!! Great for business also and has helped me loads at work!!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ The English to Chinese translation is superb!I am so glad I made this purchase. As a student who can't afford to waste time on flipping through dictionary every five minutes, this handy app allows me to instantly have the answer in my hand. I love it so much, and would recommend it to anyone who is trying to learn a new language, especially those in a foreign country! The recognition is fast and the translation is more accurate than I expected. Totally awesome!.Version: 4.3.2
✓ Wish I had this in JapanIt was frustrating not being able to read the menus and signs. I have been testing this app. It's brilliant works very fast..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Best in class for JapaneseI am in Japan for work for the next year, and had bought 2 other iPhone camera translation apps, both of which were so-so in terms of speed and accuracy. Then I found Worldictionary in the featured apps and gave it a try. It has quickly become one of my go-to apps. It is pretty fast and very accurate. I can point it at a sign or an ingredient list on something at the grocery store and get a good idea of what it means. Not auto-detecting the language may be a bummer for some, but I think that choice allows for better translation accuracy and speed than some others I have tried. This app has helped me to read things in a pinch and also is helping me to keep learning the language every day! Thank you Worldictionary!.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Amazing app for a phone!Very easy to use translator app works brilliantly with text, all the various functions including recoginising words and translating from text is very usefull. 5 star..Version: 3.2.0
✓ WorksThis app is very cool. I love the translation without typing. You just poing the phone at the word and it shows you instantly what the translation is and will even say it outloud for you. I could see this being used alot while traveling and would make a great learning tool..Version: 3.6.0
✓ Loved it !!!Just unbelieveable!!! Perfect translator. pointing at any word it just gets me back with its accurate translation/meaning. Its better, faster and worth buying. Highly recommended..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Simply the most useful app ever!The translation feature of this app is amazing! You just have to scan text once, which only takes one try unlike some other apps like this, and it instantly translates it into the language you want. The translation is accurate, fast and easy to use, the whole app is! You have a wide vareity of languages you can choose to translate it into and its little touches like the fact you can search it on google with the click of a button that makes this app an all round great! Its most definitely worth the £5.49 that i paid and i would pay it again if need be! Great App!.Version: 3.2.0
✓ Works great!You can look up the definition of a word through this app, just by aiming your device's camera at the word. You can also translate to and from several languages! Perfect for learning French or Spanish! The app will also pronounce the word for you. Pretty neat app, I definitely recommend it!.Version: 2.3.0
✓ Still using thisI wish I'd had this when I went to France last year. You point your phone at a sign or anything with text on and it translates the text into English (or whatever you want). Even shows you search results for the words - just to make the meaning even clearer. Works on over 20 languages, and now it has in app purchases so you can get Collins translation dictionaries for it. I'll definitely be needing the English-French and English-Japanese ones. Au revoir!.Version: 4.2.0
✓ The Best Translation Dictionary Yet!!!This is just perfect!! It translates the message quickly and very accurate!! It is very user friendly and i absolutely love this app!! If you are going overseas then this is the app to get!!! You will not be disappointed it is a perfect easy translator and very quick!! Also you can take a picture of the message you want translated and it translates it which is crazy!! This is the latest technology in translation services!! thanks to the people who made this app its simply GREAT and a MUST HAVE!!!.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Creative concept for frequent travellersThe concept is innovative. Quite helpful to people who travel. The help section is quite good as well. but if it can read an entire sentence or a paragraph, that would make it much more user friendly. Add more languages as well..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Super appNice app, reads straight away, no lack as other apps. Very useful..Version: 3.1.0
✓ WowWhat a Grreat app ! I use it anytime I need to translate into other languages and if im speaking to someone that don't speak English aswell as myself , I can translate complex words . This u a Mus have app :).Version: 2.1.0
✓ So many languages!The Worldictionary app has a huge selection of languages to translate from/into, and the added pronunciation feature is excellent if you are scanning foreign text and need to learn how to say a word. This app is fantastic for anyone traveling to foreign countries or even just to truly understand your local chinese food restaurant's menu. Works great and does what it says it will do. Can even use it to help kids learning to read, they can get help pronouncing words that are difficult for them just by using this app..Version: 2.3.0
✓ A Useful Translator And DictionaryThis app enables you to translate words or phrases into your mother tongue. The great thing about this app is its ability to use the functionality of the phone such as the camera to take a picture of the word and then translate. The app also has in app purchases as well such as English to French which is useful if your like me and you think in your mother tongue langauge ..Version: 4.3.1
✓ It does what it saysThe app does what it says. I am studying arts in uni and this app has become a handy tool helping me with translations in my course. Bought it after loads of research and got to say, I think I made the right choice..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Flawless Translation!Worldictionary is a simple but powerful translator, just point your camera to a word and boom its done. The App contains a built in dictionary as well as using their-party services such as Google and Bing. Straight from the app you can select words and search across the web using Google, Bing and Wikipedia. Simply a great App!.Version: 3.7.0
✓ Amazing!Apps like these make everyone jealous, I can't believe how awesome it is to have instant translation and really accurate! (also great if you are learning the language) but I use it most just to show off!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Pretty cool!This would be better if you could download word packs, though. For example, if you could download a word pack of common words in English in Spanish, or a pack with less common words and have those when you don't have network connectivity..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Just brilliantI have been studying Spanish for years and this world dictionary app will make my learning so much easier. This app is really clever, all you do is point it to a word and it will translate it for you. I have the app set up for English into Spanish but it could easily be French or any of the other languages you desire to learn. This is a seriously cool app and i'm sure once I turn up to college with this, they will all want one..Version: 3.5.0
✓ Very handy app!I've taken this app on a test drive around my house and had it read, translate and define words with impressive accuracy. Now, obviously it will struggle if you're showing it crazy typography, however I was really impressed to see it pick up the words from some company logos which I thought may have been too difficult for it. I couldn't recommend this app enough if you are wanting to travel abroad, and are not 100% familiar with the native language there. It'll certainly help you know for sure what food you are ordering at a restaurant! Overall, really impressed!.Version: 3.1.0
✓ A good travelers appA good traveling app which I had ever seen. It's helps me a lot to know about other language's meaning. Glad to have it in my iPhone 4. I've decided to use it when I travel to non-speaking English countries..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Great appWoow. This is app what i was looking for. I use this app everywhere. It is too easy to use just hold your camera on word which one you wanna translate. And now when I'm in restorant i know what I will order. This app helps me a lot. Worth every dollar which i spent on it. If you need translator buy this one you will not be disappointed. This guys makes only the best apps..Version: 3.5.0
✓ More useful than expectedI was surprised at just how resourceful this app can be. I only really expected it to help when traveling overseas to translate but, it will help me so much in learning Italian (and/or other languages too). Just snap the word (in app) and see the translation instantly with further details on a tap. The only criticism I could give is it is slightly over priced. Instead of $5.99 I'd probably make it $3.99. But I don't regret buying it at the $5.99 price at all. Keep up the great work guys..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Great app!Full disclosure: I was gifted this app to give it a try and give my honest feedback. What I really love about the app is that there's nothing to do other than point your phone at some text in another language and it automatically determines the language and translates whichever word it's pointed at. The only downside is that it translates words as opposed to phrases, perhaps it will come in a future release - but to get the gist of something it's fine as it is. I've tested black text on a White background as well as white text on a coloured background both work really well, though it is best if the camera is roughly level with the text. Overall this app rocks and will be a great help in my travels!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ It works flawlessDownloaded Worldictionary as I needed a app that could translate French to English. Tried it and it works flawless. Good job by the developers. Only thing that I find to be a down side is that it needs a network connection, but other than that really innovative app..Version: 2.1.0
✓ WorksThe app works very well, the translation pop up really fast and it's accurate. The design of the app is clean and simple to use. The bad thing is that you have to pay extra for Chinese language ability.Version: 3.7.0
✓ Awesome app5 Stars from me. Really a cool app. Just point to the text and it will translate in one of the 21 supported languages. And you can even store images or look up words on Wikipaedia. Amazing tool. Love it. I worth the money in my opinion..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Great idea, needs some tweaks!This is a great app and is well worth the price tag! Its very quick with the translations and is rather simple to use. There are a few things I found that if updated would make this app perfect. They are, a little help or information screen at the start of the app the first time you use it basically showing the user how to use the app and how to get the best results. Which brings me onto my second point. The app seemed to read the words a lot better from slightly further away I don't know why but it did! So maybe a hint telling the user to move back if it can't read the word would be good! But as the writing is smaller it's harder to get the word you want translated! So maybe a feature that you press the word that you want translated and it will translate that word! Also the app seemed to struggle with writing on coloured backgrounds, especially yellow text on a blue background! So an improvement in this are would be good as well! Finally it's slightly annoying that you can only translate one word at a time but as the translation is so quick it's not too bad. The ability to search the word on the Internet from the app is a good idea and I think you should defiantly download the app!.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Fab app - point and click to understand the language!This app just got better as now you can get translations off line. A big plus when abroad as saves on roaming charges. The Spanish-English and French-English have been most helpful for me as travel to both for work a lot. Now act more like a local. Helps a lot! I had previously reviewed the app saying: This app has become a real boon for me when travelling, which I do a lot for work. The point and click at the word feature is brilliant. It gives really accurate reply, and options and you can click through to view more detail through the links. It covers all of the countries I been to so far. Fab app. Thanks.Version: 4.2.0
✓ Need to translate text, look no furtherReally pleased with the accuracy speed and all the additional features. I highly recommend this app big thumbs up. I read some of the other reviews before downloading and I agree the price tag is low for such a great app..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Great tool for the traveller.If I was in Europe I would use this everywhere. Menus. Signs. Shopping. Works as described. Scan a word and it translates it into chosen language. Works fast. Great way to learn new words in another language..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Neat appI was browsing through the app store for an translation app & checked on Worldictionary. The thing that made me buy the app was that it said it gives instant translations. I did not believe it at first, but this works. Neat app..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Very impressive!Works exactly as described, with fast live translations. the whole sentence translation from pictures also works pretty well. from my initial testing, it seems to perform much better with Chinese vs European languages - it's amazingly accurate with Chinese characters, even easily recognizing multi-character words. there's also an offline dictionary for English to Chinese translation (but strangely, not the other way around). overall it's a really terrific app that could help language students and tourists. for future updates, I would really love to see optional downloadable offline dictionaries for languages other than Chinese (or at least add Chinese to english offline)..Version: 3.2.0
✓ It definately worksThis is an extremely handy and easy to use tool. The only downside that i can see is that it can give way too much information when translating words or sentences. It can be difficult to sort out the correct information..Version: 3.6.0
✓ FantasticThis is a fantastic app. I'm very satisfied as I needed an English/Chinese Dictionary that didn't require a data Connection. The Bing translate info is neat. The recognition has improved since the last update. Great job..Version: 3.0.0
✓ This is an indispensable app for travelersWorldictionary is really an amazing app for those of you who plan on traveling abroad or who do frequest business trips to other regions. Even if you are around multicultural environments with different language groups or are simply learning a new language yourself, you should grab this app. The amount of different languages supported is staggering. Translations of texts from 21 different languages (including English) is available to users. The app is automatic so you do not need to look a word up. All you do is point the camera at words from different languages around you -- like a traffic sign or a segment in a book -- and the app does the translation automatically. If you want only a segment translated from a block of heavy text, simply snap a picture of the segment of writing and drag your finger around the words or sentence syou want translated. I have fmaily living in different countries and continents around the world, so this app is perfect for my needs. I am glad to know an app like this exists making me not have to rely on traditional and slow processes like using a dictionary to look word sup by hand. If you are even a video game fan of Japanese role-playing games, for instance, an app like this could make translations so much easier and the games so much more enjoyable to play. There are many uses for the app and am glad to have found it..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Gift for TravelersI'm currently residing in non-speaking English country and this app helps me a lot to recognize and translate almost everything. I can able to translate printed words and even signboards. Must have one for travelers..Version: 3.0.0
✓ FantasticWhat a fantastic app, so many times I've been in an Italian restaurant and not known what it is!!!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Perfect on the go!! Excellent for language learners!!Who has time to look up words away from familiar territory? You're most likely taking pictures anyway... This app is great for getting an understanding about where you are and what's what. Capture the word or phrase in the camera and get an immediate translation. - For avid language learners like me, you can get the translation in the language you're learning in seconds. Practice ...on the go! If You purchase this app, you won't be disappointed!.Version: 3.2.0
✓ Perfect for my vacationIt defines AND translates simply by using my phone's camera? At first I couldn't believe the description, but I took a chance anyway, and downloaded the app. I'm glad I did, because it's one of the most useful and convenient apps I've seen. It works exactly as described, and it does it quickly and without a hitch. I'm going to Mexico with the family next month, and this app is pretty much the only translator I need..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Amazing!This app is probably the best application to use aborad. It's quick and simple to use, all you have to do is scan the text once, the accuracy of it is unbelievable, it'll then instantly translate into the language of your choice! There is a wide variety of languages to choose from which is helpful if you are visiting different countries around the world. Amazing application, I wish the best to the developers and would like to congratulate you on creating such an amazing application!.Version: 3.2.0
✓ Amazing App!An amazing app recognizes characters soon and gives exact results. Just by pointing my camera to any word it defines and translates in multiple languages instantly which inspires me a lot. Just feels that having an encyclopedia in my hand itself..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Incredible camera dictionaryThis is an application the will translate one language to another by viewing the text in real life via the camera. I am so shocked that this is possible and am extremely impressed by this technology. I was able to point the camera at Japanese and it showed me the translation without me having to enter stroke order or have any kind of knowledge. For someone who travels or is learning a language, this can be seriously useful and save a lot of time. For example, if you are in Tokyo, this could translate street signs or food items on a menu. How incredible is that! There are a few minor flaws, such as not the greatest selection of languages to choose from. Luckily, for more “obscure” languages, there are ones available for an additional purchase. This is strange since the app is pretty pricey already. Also, when selecting things, such as languages, there Is no “done” button. Sometimes I found myself confused how to confirm a change with various options because of this. So not the most user friendly app out there, but an incredible advancement in technology that I highly recommend for anyone – there is a free version to try!.Version: 3.5.0
✓ Fast and usefulIt just works. The interface is simple to use and gives you an impressive set of options. A quality app. A great set of language conversions. The recognition of words via the camera is excellent..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Works really wellI've tried this out on a number of phrases I know and it's worked perfectly on each one. Will definitely make use of this..Version: 3.5.0
✓ Forget typingIt is really really easy to translate a word witout typing. This app helps you to make quick translations when you in rush. Just took the picture and that's it..Version: 4.3.0
✓ Heaps of promiseA great translation app with a few cool features. The ability to quickly snap a photo and tap individual words in that pic for instant translation generally works really well, provided the pic is in focus and the text font isn't too fancy. "Live" translation is a bit more cumbersome, as the app can only translate single words at a time, which isn't up to par with something like Word Lens. Unlike Word Lens though, Worldictionary comes packed with a heap of language options - and that's all for the cost price. (Currently Word Lens only has support for English to Spanish and vice versa, and even that will set you back a cool 26 bucks.) With continued support, I can see Worldictionary becoming the goto translation app in the store..Version: 2.0.0
✓ AwesomeWow! Tried and love it! This is perfect to translate menus in fancy restaurants. The fact that you don't need to type everything is really cool. I will tell my friends about it.Version: 3.1.0
✓ The only app I’ve found for Japanese!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..Version: 4.3.8
✓ Instant translation! Great for tourists!Can you believe it? Point your iPhone camera to any texts and get the translation! I don't even need to type in the words! This is a great feature if you are on the go. Highly recommended app!.Version: 3.2.0
✓ A useful appThis is a very useful app. It works very well in many languages and as far as I am aware it is one of the cheaper translation apps as well.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Great appI was impressed with how quickly and easily it began working. Just point your phone at a word, and watch it work it's magic. This is one of the best apps I've ever seen. Very attractive interface, and it does exactly what it advertises. I highly recommend..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Fantastic AppBought the Spanish dictionary as I need it for my university course. Really helpful on the go and in classes as you can use the camera when you need to translate from books and notes. Great idea and very helpful..Version: 4.3.0
✓ Pretty good with some room for improvementI've tried this app out quite a bit with several languages and overall it's pretty good. Sometimes it has struggled a bit with the OCR (not correctly identifying the original word) but mostly it gets it right and then it works a charm. I was especially impressed it could do an OK job translating Japanese characters. Where I falls down, apart from the occasional OCR glitches, is that it translates a word at a time. This makes long passages difficult, especially where word order and sentence structure differs significantly from my language. If it could translate, say, a whole sentence at a time, it would be absolutely brilliant. As it is though, it's still very useful for my purposes (translating short passages, eBay listings, etc) and I imagine it would be great if you were travelling and had to read signs, brochures and the like. Disclaimer: the developer gave me a free copy of the app and asked me to post a review. But this is my honest opinion of the app.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Amazing technology, Fantastic App!!Well what can I say but just download this!! This is some of the most advanced software I have seen. This is an excellent idea and works wonders on the iPhone. Its English-Chinese off-line dictionary has been a massive help to me. Also the way it does the Translation using Bing search engine is perfect. I think the price tag is to low for such a quality tool. Great for the traveller, students, going on holiday or just for having fun with. Top marks to the developers!.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Much Appreciated!When compare to other similar kind of apps, it's very easy to use, recognizes well and built up with amazing features. Get this, if you are looking translation app..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Great!This app does everything it says it does in the description very fast and smoothly. I have been using it to read a book written in Spanish. Fun and easy, great design. Looking forward to future updates!.Version: 3.3.0
✓ Fast translateWorks very well with correct lighting naturally. You can choose between using google & bing for translating. Best feature is translating whole pages of text, you take a picture select text it then recognises the text and displays it in a box then shows translation underneath. If it incorrectly recognises a word you can edit it. Very handy for travelling and as google & bing translations improve this app is a winner..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Awesome Translation app, pocket translatorThis app stands top for its awesome features. I am amazed to see my iPhone camera translate the the words.. pretty cool. Now i can easily read the words in other languages. Now i don't want to rely on PC for Translation. Simply it works great as promised..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Superb!This is by far the best translation app I've ever used. So simple and it works every time! I'm studying Spanish and this app has helped me immensely. The instant translation feature is so fast if you quickly need to translate a word or two in a sentence. Highly recommended for people studying a language or a traveller in a foreign country..Version: 3.6.0
✓ Best I've foundI had some posters with Japanese text to translate. I bought 3-4 iPhone programs for the job. I photographed the text (Radicals), used photoshop to isolate and increase the contrast of the text. I used the modified text as an image in my iPhone. Although the OCR is not perfect, it found the correct ones about 75% of the time which is VASTLY better than all the other programs I've tried. The interface is easy to use, much easier and less frustrating than some other programs. This program did the bulk of my translation job and I highly recommend it..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Perfect for World TravelingI travel a lot. I live in a country where I don't speak the language and this product has become indispensable! Makes grocery shopping and ordering food much easier, not to mention dealing with bus drivers and train station schedules!.Version: 2.3.5
✓ Great App!I've been learning italian for a while now and this app just makes learning and translating so much easier! It has translated any language I've thrown at it so far. A great app if you like reading in different languages or you don't understand a word in something you're reading. WorldDictionary is super easy to use and i haven't experienced any bugs or crashed in my entire time using it! A MUST HAVE app for language enthusiasts!.Version: 3.6.0
✓ Good app with lots of potentialThis app is great especially at the start of it's life, I can see this being a must have app especially after it has a couple of improvements (such as zoom) added to it. Fast, easy to use and looks great. Once again fellas great job.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Wow; the features are endlessI am honestly floored at all this app is capable of. The accuracy is amazing, it recognizes everything I have tried to take a picture of. The translation is perfect and I have tried so many variations. This is one app that is worth every cent; I simply cannot say enough positive things! 10 stars; HIGHLY recommend!!!.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Gr8 appI have been using this app for the last couple of days for French translation and the app is impressive.. Translations are quiet good, except few glitches here and there. Overall gr8 app!.Version: 2.2.1
✓ Amazing!I have been using this app for the past few days. It translates almost everything. Really an amazing app..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Amazing AppThis was an essential app for me and will make my business trip so much easier. This app is so accurate and beautifully designed that you don't notice it when your using it! It's worth every penny and a absolute essential if your going abroad! For me Worlddictionary was perfect and flawless, don't hesitate, just get it! I really can't flaw this app because it worked amazingly for me. It became quite fun to guess what banners, ads and newspapers said and then find out! I also liked the ability to translate sentences manually and again, that was extremely useful to me. I can't wait to use this next time and show off to all my friends, this app is brilliant..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Electronic Dictionary just got faster!The speed of technology innovation is just amazing. Electroinc dictionary without the need to type in the words... Life is good~.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Fantastic!This amazing little app saved me so much time and resources. I work in media localisation within the entertainment industry where every minute and resource count. What a gem!!.Version: 2.3.0
✓ NadiaI love this app! It really does work :-) A must have on any overseas trip!.Version: 3.0.0
✓ World dictionary applicationIt is a great application, and works reasonbly well. It does what it says, it translates words from different languages. However, that may be its only down fall, as I believe people would want translations of a full sentance or large pieces of texts, not words. Other then that it doesn't misguide anyone, by stating it can do something it can't. It's a fab application and does a great job!!.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Point and...translate! Great appImpress your friends with your language skills!!! Easy to use, even a kid can do it! Instant translation of the word or sentence you choose, in many languages!...and if you want more, takes you to many other sites to find the meaning. 5 star quality.Version: 3.7.0
✓ Very usefulI have been using this app to read a book in French - my French isn't good enough on its own! In fact, it's so bad I have been reading the entire book through this app! I'm hoping my French will improve and I won't have to look up as many words. The great thing is the speed at which it can translate words. Just point the camera at the word and it's translated! A feature I would like would be to have the whole screen showing the view through the camera, but still with the cross hairs for the translation. That way I would be able to see more of the book at the same time. This would make reading easier (although I guess this use - reading everything through the app - isn't what it was originally intended for)..Version: 4.3.3
✓ Good but lacks a major component for me...I live in Japan and can read kanji to a certain degree and this app would be fantastic IF IF IF it would provide the reading for the kanji instead of just providing the English translation. In Japanese there is a phonetic alphabet called kana and all kanji can be described using the phonetic alphabet. If the kana for each character or groups of characters were provided then this would actually be a fantastic study tool. As it stands it simply provides a quick fix and that may prove to be helpful at times but not nearly as much as if it provided the kana. Here's an example: The kanji 行く means "to go" and you read this "iku". If the reading "iku" were provided in the kana form like this, "いく" I could then study and learn how to read it in Japanese as well as know what it means. One last detail... Most kanji have two ways to read them, on-yomi (Chinese reading) and kun-yomi (Japanese) reading and both are used and important so both the "on" and "kun" yomi should be provided. Here's one simple example: 山 is the kanji for mountain. The "on-yomi" is "san" or "さん" and the "kun-yomi" is "yama" or "やま". Usually, when two or more kanji are put together side-by-side, they are read using the "on-yomi" and when they are on their own they are read using the "kun-yomi". PLEASE keep this in mind for a future upgrade!!!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great AppI purchased this app for my mother to use while she was traveling abroad. Helped her out so much! Cheers!.Version: 3.7.0
✓ Great ideaApp does what it says, direct your camera to the word, that simple. Translating without typing. Great idea. Uses different engines for translation and also In-App purchases available. I bought German dictionary..Version: 4.3.0
✓ Great AppBest translation app I have used and in my opinion the best on the market. After installing the app I found it extremely easy to navigate. I tested some of its great features including Instant translation using view and the advanced search results were just great..Version: 3.6.0
✓ Innovative Tool, Good for Genealogy and MoreWorldictionary translates words from other languages instantly with one quick motion of your iPhone. I can think of many uses for the genealogist. If you are in the Library or Salt Lake City or anywhere doing research and you find a set of church record books in another language, choose the language it is in from the list of language choices, point your phone at the word and a translation appears. Worldictionary recognizes and translates between 21 languages. This app would work well for genealogists, students, teachers, tourists and more..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Very impressive and usefullThis app really impressed me, supports a lot of languages, is fast and easy to use. I'll be using it a lot when I travel about, that's for sure. The only thing I'd change is the bookmarks, should be easier to bookmark something, apart from that, 5/5.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Reliable real-world translatorThe character recognition algorithm is very accurate, which adds a lot value to this already great app. The languages supported are another plus, the range is respectable. The overall UI/UX is very well design and implemented, adding a true mobile experience to a real-world translator. Search history and the choice between camera/camera-roll are very useful indeed. I strongly recommend this app..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Amazing!This app is amazing if you don't want to type in words and/or speak them to your phone simply pop open the app, point it at the word and it will do its magic..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Very helpfulVery handy app. This app really helped me with my exams revision i used the English to French dictionary and also purchased English to Arabic dictionary. It is really accurate and and the explanations makes it easy to understand the words. Great app 5 stars from me!.Version: 4.3.1
✓ UsefulWhy I love this app? Simple when I wanna translate something point at the word and when it catch it I can google on wikipedia on the same app. Give a lots of meaning about the word and I Also get verbs. I recommend it wont regret..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Excellent appFantastic app. Works great with simple to use controls. Definitely part of my travel kit..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Brilliant app!Thanks for developing such a handy tool. I have already used it to translated menu items and will definitely use on my first trip abroad. Well worth the price tag. Recommended..Version: 3.2.0
✓ ExcellentAs somebody who loves to travel I find this app fantastic for helping me out with words I can't understand the only thing that I can say I wish I had found this app earlier and with its 21 languages what more could you ask for on your travels..Version: 3.3.0
✓ Fantastic app!I have tried many other translation apps, and none where able to do what Worldictionary can do. The instantaneous translation is absolutely incredible. I love that you can hear the word pronounced and get the definition of the word and then bookmark it for later. Highly recommend!.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Better than I ThinkIt works better than I think. Just need zoom option~.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Good app!This is a great app, and is very useful, but photos aren't always very accurate, and sometimes, I had to change what the app thought a photo was. Sentence recognition is good, but it took so long to get the actual result, that it would have been faster to just type what it said. The translation for whole sentences after they were recognized was good, though. Overall, this is a good and useful app, but it needs some slight improvements..Version: 3.3.0
✓ WOWAmazing app having great features can't belive that i can search for meaning without writing just have to palce the word in front of camera and app works itself and it can recognaze many languages text. thanks for such app.:).Version: 3.7.0
