Cool phone App

Just got this for my iPhone for $4.99

cant wait until they come out with other languages, so far it appears to only support Spanish> English or English> Spanish text.

basically, the camera in your phone detects the printed text from a menu for example and it replaces the text on your screen with the text in the desired language.

works pretty darn well actually!

and at this rate... most of us in the southern states who have been abandoned by our Federal Government will need this APP to survive in the near future!

I don't have an Iphone as I can not afford one.

My boss showed up in our office this morning, calls us all over, and demonstrated it. It's actually pretty impressive. Not perfect, but pretty dang cool.

It's pretty sad that we would even need an app like this.
It wasn't long ago when people comeing to the States WANTED to learn the language.
Now they demand WE learn thiers?
If I moved to a Spanish Speaking Country?
I'd learn the lingo.
I refuse to learn it now as I'd be a Conformist!
