Like other newer apps, such as Word Lens, Japan Goggles steps in to fill the gap. though realistically we can't do that every time we need help! Then again, startup mygengo might be worth looking at.)
(Although, I suppose you could always take a picture and send it to someone who reads Japanese. I think it has a lot of potential for anyone who can't read Japanese fluently, and possibly for regular use when out and about (when reading comprehension often is even more critical).įortunately we can gather a lot of information on the internet, made easier with online translation tools and dictionaries, but if you're at the store and trying to read something, you either have to stand there and scribble individual kanji in Shinkanji (one of my favorite kanji apps), or if you know some of the kanji, try entering them in a dictionary app and hope the word you're looking for pops up. In this post I introduce an iPhone/iPod Touch app to include in the "survival tools for living in Japan" - Japan Goggles.
