Only Spanish to English available for now, but other languages are apparently in the works.

that's pretty neat. i wonder if/how they'll make it work with other alphabets though.

I'd like to see how it translates engrish signs.

I'd like to be the first to point out the typo in the thread title.
and the 4th to think this is super cool. (assuming Tesso digs it)

It looks better with the typo.

And yeah, it is extremely cool.

I'm most impressed with how seamlessly it overlays the translations and matches the style of the text.

I'd also like to see if it can handle complex scripts like poetic Arabic calligraphy. If it can translate that, then I will be completely impressed.

Does anyone actually have this app? And does it actually work that seamlessly? Call me skeptical, but I've seen plenty of ads with "Screen Images Simulated" tagged in small print at the bottom.

If it actually works like that (even if only in ideal situations), that's pretty amazing.
