A dysfunctional and utterly useful app

As a university professor who travels overseas frequently, I bought this app in spite of the lousy reviews it has received. Guess what? The lousy reviews are accurate. The software recognition part of this app is non existent. After it fails to recognize words printed in block letters, it asks you to type in the letters yourself. So the app cannot translate anything on the fly. You are better off using the app itranslate--a much more accurate and cheaper app. Please do not waste your money buying this app.
