This is fantastic - I tried it just now for Polish => English, and the interface is very good, letting you highlight parts of the image that you want translated.
Until now, when I've found a notice that makes no sense to me, I've resorted to taking a photo and then translating with a dead-tree dictionary once I got home. This app is going to make it a lot more difficult not to give in to temptation and cheat with Google.
Whilst Google's Polish translations are pretty bad, they do the job for translating random verbs, which give you enough. Something about using sitting down with a paper dictionary helps the words stay in my head though.

- mootothemax 14y agoWith technology, nobody ever needs to retain information ever again. It's just a Google away. That's a different - although interesting - discussion. You get so much more from learning a language than just retaining information. I'd liken it to learning the piano; whilst plenty of people are happy to press a button and hear sounds come out, sometimes it's really nice to sit down and play, you know? :)
