All-in-One:
1. Translator
2. OCR Scanner
3. Dictionary
4. Voice recognizer

Includes voice recognition, speech, OCR scanner and translation between 36 different languages. Your multilingual voice translator.

The Swiss Army knife of all translators. Speak into the iPhone in a language and have it spoken back to you in another language. Take a picture of any sign, text, or menu (brightly lit with clear text) in a foreign language while translating it into a language that you can understand.

Now you can understand those French menus in France, those Chinese signs hanging on the Chinese restaurant walls, or simply take notes by taking a picture of a magazine page.

Text recognition uses OCR running on your iPhone/iPad/iPod which can be saved into your notes. Unable to take a picture for some reason? Use Apples foreign keyboard or try to draw the character with your fingers for instant translation.

Translate text into any of the supported languages. Save text to email, photo album or copy to notes.


How can you use Blink!?

À revoir...

Reconnaissance OCR longue. Reconnaissance vocale à peu prêt bonne mais pensez à attendre quelques secondes avant de parler. Dictionnaire très long et peu fournis. Lidée est bonne mais à améliorer ... ÉDIT : le programme ne sauvegarde pas les paramètres des langues source et destination. À corriger SVP !

ne fonctionne pas du tout

les fonctionnalités réglages et capture ne marchent pas du tout donc vous etes limités à traduire de langlais vers de lespagnol et linverse

No and no

Doesnt work at all with Chinese. I used in the past for tts but never tried pics translation. So I tried now and its useless.

I can understand my in-laws!

I just bought this because my in laws dont speak English and its made it a lot easier to communicate them in mandarin. Also my nannys English is not great, and my Spanish is bad, so this is helping us communicate better.

I found it is very easy to use. It helped me a lots especially when i talked to the person who could not speak English.

Used this app in a gourmet Italian supermarket to buy novelty products without English labels. The snapshot function is so convenient, saved my sore thumbs from endless typing. Im even using the apps speech recognition function to transcribe this review now, haha! This app works like a charm on my iPhone 3GS. A definite keeper!

Full featured app. Great features.

I like the fact that this app has so many features combined into one. The part that blew me away was the voice recognition, translation, the speech that was produced in a different language. Simply awesome!
