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 kids 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)
