This is pretty darn cool and would be really helpful for Baja travelers that don't speak a whole lot of Spanish.

It is a cool app. !

How well does it do on longer texts like in a book or Internet?

Not sure. I need to get the latest update installed on my iPhone so I can download it. I will try it out though and let you know!

Post stealers! :-)

Word Lens was not designed to read books, although it can read a few individual words.

this tool will greatly affect my stays in Mexico. Just going down the to the market ...it will be useful.....no more "this beef hash tastes like Alpo" and it is Alpo dog food!

I am looking for a translator app, any one have a suggestion for the iPhone and iPad, in addition to the Word Lens?

Hell, just take me with you. Keep me up my chin in beer and I'll translate all you want.....and I don't need batteries.
