I can only imagine what kind of breakthrough in technology this is. Implants of technological devices in your ears that allows you to HEAR, and possibly understand other languages as they are being spoken to you. Wicked.

No, it's $5 every time you use it, for each picture you take. And what is the accountability for it's being 100% correctly worded? Next to none.

What!? So for every time you have the camera on something to translate, between uses of the app, your $5 shorter? That doesnt make sense. I need an official link to read.

No, it looks like you need to purchase the English->Spanish or Spanish->English pack for $5 each in the app, and from then on it translates for you in realtime.

Sorry, Freetranslation is another app. Like the website, it is free. It supports a s*** of languages.

Word lens app itself is free. For free, you can reverse words and stupidity like that. If you pay 5$, you can have a translate english>spanish function. For another 5$, you can have the reverse.

I meant it's senseless to charge 10$ for a full spanish translating package if another app like Freetranslation exists.
