Beware of Offline Translation & Support

You can read about all the supported languages in the description and also that off-line dictionaries are available through an in-app purchase. After purchasing the app, I was disappointed to learn that the only off-line translations available were Japanese, Chinese and Korean. I contacted support, but there was no reply. Also note that some of the off-line dictionaries have only about 15,000 words meaning that they will translate very few words, if any, in an average sentence.

Wow!

Its amazing how this works. All I have to do is point my camera!! A must have!

2013-01-14

Definitions & Translations!

The Worldictionary instantly defines and translates words and sentences using the device's own camera using the view & translate function! Add that on top of a range of supported languages and additional results from reliable search providers, this is an indispensable tool and an invaluable pocket app!

Great App

I purchased this app for my mother to use while she was traveling abroad. Helped her out so much! Cheers!

Outstanding App!

I bought this app before a recent trip, it's stellar. A great app, I cannot recall the number of times it came handy. And the multiple language features are great.

Solid Translator

I use it out to translate my French to English and it works great. The app is simple to use and you get instant translations. A good and useful app.

Good idea, but recognizition isn't always 100% accurate

Need a translating application for your smartphone or tablet? Then you should try Worldictionary developed by Penpower Incorporated. But you may say, why not use the Google Translate? While the Google Translate app is good, this app will allow you to hold up your smartphone or tablet camera up in front of the document for instant word translation. It's a good expansion to the Google Translate app.

Although this app is cool, it is not always 100% accurate. A good example is mixing up the lowercase letter “l” with the letter “t.” Sometimes, it doesn’t even recognize the sentence at all and gives me random words and letters. So you have to make sure your text is correct at first before translating. Also, the translations sometimes don’t make sense all the time, but that can be the fault of the translating service, not the application itself.

Innovative Tool, Good for Genealogy and More

Worldictionary translates words from other languages instantly with one quick motion of your iPhone.

I can think of many uses for the genealogist. If you are in the Library or Salt Lake City or anywhere doing research and you find a set of church record books in another language, choose the language it is in from the list of language choices, point your phone at the word and a translation appears.

Worldictionary recognizes and translates between 21 languages. This app would work well for genealogists, students, teachers, tourists and more.

Works great!

You can look up the definition of a word through this app, just by aiming your device's camera at the word. You can also translate to and from several languages! Perfect for learning French or Spanish! The app will also pronounce the word for you. Pretty neat app, I definitely recommend it!

Worldictionary instant translator for business travelers, parents and more

Worldictionary is a great new app for travelers andbusiness people. Also excellent for parents with a child learning a second language in school. So virtually a good tool for anyone. The app sells for $5.99 and uses the camera feature of your iPhone. It provides instant translation for travelers - a feature that would come in extremely handy for instance if needing a quick translation of a roadside sign in Mexico. Worldictionary is by PenPower Technology and it works well with IPhone 3GS and it also runs nicely on the IPhone 4 and Ipad 2. Point the camera at the word and translate. A network-connection is required. There are 21 languages covered . The app needs iOS 4.2 or later to run smoothly for character recognition. This app is worth it. I used several of my kid's French texts to see how the translations compared and was amazed at how fun and simple this app is to use. It provides translation of two adjacent words as well. The only improvement would be if the app translated entire sentences. I give the app a 4 1/2 star rating. ( original review at thriftymommastips blog)

It works flawless

Downloaded Worldictionary as I needed a app that could translate French to English. Tried it and it works flawless. Good job by the developers. Only thing that I find to be a down side is that it needs a network connection, but other than that really innovative app.

2011-07-07

Neat app

I was browsing through the app store for an translation app & checked on Worldictionary. The thing that made me buy the app was that it said it gives instant translations. I did not believe it at first, but this works. Neat app.

2011-07-07

It does what it says

The app does what it says. I am studying arts in uni and this app has become a handy tool helping me with translations in my course. Bought it after loads of research and got to say, I think I made the right choice.

Great application

When I was travelling abroad, a friend of mine told me about Worldictionary. The app is actually very easy to use and saves you a lot of time from typing. It worked with every word I've tried so far. With this app, you can never be lost anymore in any area of the world! I think it's well worth the price. I highly recommend it!

Reliable real-world translator

The character recognition algorithm is very accurate, which adds a lot value to this already great app. The languages supported are another plus, the range is respectable.

The overall UI/UX is very well design and implemented, adding a true mobile experience to a real-world translator. Search history and the choice between camera/camera-roll are very useful indeed.

I strongly recommend this app.
