So this is real?
I can't even comprehend the technology of how it does it???
wtf?
Let's say you're writing letters on a piece of paper, with the tranlslator on...
You could be seeing the letters change on the fly from viewing it through the phone??
Seeing different things as what you're physically writing down... MIND BLASTED.
Not only this, but it matches the font style that it's viewing...

the only thing it matches really are big block letters like the examples used and they have to be pretty good candidates to work correctly
if they had french i'd probably buy it, but the spanish isnt very usefull considering nothing around here is in spanish

After playing around with it a bit, I would have to say that the recognition will have to improve before it becomes truly useful. Even for the letter reversal demo, it was having lots of trouble showing the correct words... so it should have even more problems when trying translate sentences into another language, on the fly.
However, I stumbled upon some other options that may work just as well or better, but aren't quite as nifty...
Even the Google App can do something similar. You use the Google Goggles to take a picture of some text, it then does some OCR on it, and then you can choose to translate it into another language. The downside is that it requires an Internet connection to work.

Advances in technology have to start somewhere.
