    Read a few reviews which says it works very well, but they've only implemented Spanish --> English so far! :(

    They are.. but it won't do much without the Language Conversion packs for £2.99 (or whatever the euro equivalent is).

    Think all the free version will do it reverse words etc.

    What a great invention. I wonder how long before they invent an app where you can have a conversation with someone in a different language, it just gets translated through the iphone?
    Or do they have that already.......

    Shame it only has limited language packs.



    As for translating thrugh the phone, voice recognition exists, as do translators and text to speak readers, jsut need tobe combined in realtime.

    That is so cool. I'm just amazed that it can read the text from the camera image.

    yes pretty impressive app alright!

    "google goggles" is also a cool ass app,take a photo of text or a logo or a landmark like the eiffle tower and it googles it and throws up links,info,wikipedia pages etc.

    the way forward these aul iphones!
