As far as Augmented Reality goes, generally the only use is finding a McDonalds in your line of sight up to 100km away or looking up at the stars to see whats overhead.

With Worldictionary, you can point your camera at a word and it will translate in real time on your screen. It’s pretty impressive how quick it snaps into action and if it picks up half a word, it will quickly correct itself when you steady your hand.

There are a plethora of languages to choose from and you can translate to/from English with ease.

I’m looking forward to using this on holiday as I point it at menus or road signs!

As you can see in the screenshots below, the layout is fairly simple and the actions speak for themselves.

You can browse through the history of your translations and Worldictionary will even read the words out to you.

Translating isn’t where it all ends though, it also quickly finds the definition of the word you’re looking at. So it’s fairly useful to use on home territory even when you’re not looking to try to impress an Italian waitress.

Worldictionary now sits on my 2nd home screen and I look forward to using it more!

Worldictionary is available for iOS in the App Store (£5.49 UK / $7.99 US)
