Notes for getting the best quality out of your translations:
Best used on clearly printed text (e.g. signs, menus)
DOES NOT recognize handwriting or stylized fonts
It’s not perfect, but you can get the general meaning!
Keep text in focus by holding it at least one hand-length away and tap-to-focus if autofocus is struggling.
Turn on the flashlight (if available on your device)
Zoom in (if available on your device)

Some features are device dependent. Not all device cameras can zoom, nor do all devices have a flashlight.

Word Lens user reviews:

It needs to allow some wiggle in the focus; as it is now it restarts the translation repeatedly for small text — it’s only good for large print. None of the three available languages is useful to me. I need things like Norwegian, Czech and Dutch. Japanese and Chinese would be good too. But it’s a very good base to start from. I’ll be back and it’s more well-developed.

No trouble installing, demo program works great. Installed the English/French pack and it works exactly as advertised. Everyone is amazed. As for the reviewers that say the words flicker too much, they probably didn’t read the instructions. Once you have the text in focus as you want, you hit the “pause” button to hold the image still. (Though I concede it is hard to hold the phone still enough on small print text to get all the words.) Overall, an incredibly amazing app, nearly indistinguishable from “magic”!
