Then I got better at it. It seemed to reverse the words and letters more or less fine.
Then I spent the $5 on the product for Spanish (could be handy). I'll happily spend another $5 on a French version.
And I know how to impress everyone tomorrow!

AUDIO OUT for the blind. EDIT: People with limited vision are often considered blind, so they could use this app.
Not to sound harsh, but I don't think the blind would find a lot of use for this app...

Try reading a book with your eyes closed.
//Actually -- I'm not sure how limited the text-to-speech stuff is in the kindle. (as-in -- how many books in the store allow it. But on the couple that I've tested - it works great)

(Native Spanish speaker here.) First: This app is amazing! But I think that this app is doing almost a word by word translations, without a list of usual expressions or grammatical analysis. For example, the correct translation of 'Dead End' is 'callejón sin salida' , that means literally something like 'street without exit' . Translating word by word 'Dead End' you obtain 'Muerto Fin' that is unintelligible. Another…
yep, this is a word-for-word translation, because it's fast and it gets the point across. we're working to improve translation quality and finesse, but it's a much harder problem to understand grammar. so, we hope it gives the general meaning, and you can learn to piece it apart.
I don't care if it even only works 20% of the time right now. The rest is elbow grease and faster hardware - it'll get there.

I immediately sent the link to a dozen people, about half wrote back "How much is it?" and "How do I download it?"
Since QuestVisual.com is clearly going to sweep the entirety of the internets by this time next week a few friendly conversion suggestions:
a) Change your button to "Try Word Lens FREE - Click Here"
b) The logo under your button looks like another button, just get rid of it.
Dropped you an email if you'd like the Conversion Voodoo team to bang out a new page tomorrow AM gratis that's ready for installation by noon PST :).
I think "Babylon App" would be a perfect name for this app. Just my 2 cents.
