Japan Goggles App Reviews

Really works on catching up the Kanjis just from the camera. That is the fastest way to get the reading. You got also to work with a dictionary some time to get the full understanding with the export feature.

Crashing.... Please fix it or money back...

Good idea but not really working..

The softwares functionality is rather disappointing when trying it on real stuff like mangas. Character OCR for Kanji should be possible and I really hope that lucsens is able to produce something that is able to match the levels that Pleco (a Chinese dictionary) is capable of. Therefore I know it is possible to do better than this. Currently I consider Japan Goggles Beta Quality Software and hope that they are able to improve it.

Interesting and good. Generally nicely done. A hard task to do, so Im ok with inaccuracies. I wish there was also a photo history so I could confirm a translation with a friend. Also wish the history was organized with date markers. Keep up the good work!

Cant recognize a single world/character I take pictures of.

Dont buy this version! It recognizes about 1% of the characters, when it does anything at all. This app should be removed from the store until its fixed. I wasted my money--dont waste yours.

Total waste of money. Didnt recognize any characters. I cant even see the resemblance with the suggested characters. Not even the right radicals. I really regret this purchase.

Im glad I got this on clearance, its a waste of money. It barely identifies 1 character, and none of the ones that it recognizes are complex enough to justify using this app. The only character it recognized was 木 when the character was actually 本. Even worse, it didnt offer 本 as an alternative. In my opinion, tree is not an acceptable translation for book.

Dont know what people are complaining about. Designing an application like this is incredibly difficult, and sure it may have a few quirks here and there but overall, it just works. Only thing I would change would be the ability to manually choose among certain characters that look similar but the app isnt quite getting. Overall solid work. Wouldve paid for it.

Would be nice if it also had a dictionary of common phrases (instead of only handling words), but you can definitely figure out important signs and warnings without too much effort.

Used to work great on my 5 but ever since the iOS updates and my 6 this program works only 15% of the time. Most of the time it locks up When it does work it works but leaves a lot of interpretation up to you. Too bad it cant be paired with the far better translation apps and just act as an ocr for those

... But you could probably learn Japanese in the time it takes for it to accurately recognize anything, anywhere, no matter how its written or framed.

こんなアプリを待っていました。 作ってくれた人ありがとう！ Thank you so much for such a usefull app. I was really waiting for such a wonderfull app. I can use it very good though it maybe has little problem but never mind. That is really revolution. Thanks in advanced.

A 0.1 release. Needs a lot of polish and too expensive.

i want to love this app and 5 star ... however due to crashing, resize a bit problematic and black hue limitation ... this price of 600¥ is too costly for now if $350 i would be okay with the problems .. even the crashing Nintendo DS OCR software by Intelligent Systems is a good example perhaps for additional ideas Please look into the crash problem? For me it occurs during resize if continued press for more than 5 seconds ... this might be OS related? It is on the right track! appreciate the efforts and availability!! i would be happy to QA since this is the only OCR app available and i have prior related employment またよろしく(=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)

DO NOT BUY! It doesnt work.

waste of time, waste of money... never sends back the right kanji!!(most of the time it gets you nice gibberish meaningless characters...) we have 2 choices: - the app is a scam - you need an iphone4 to make it work. feel like ive been stolen... will not buy on the app store again.

I think it can be better if the iPad camera is quality

In Live Camera mode, it doesnt auto focus on text. kanji recognition not accurate.
