Last, but not least, that Google Translate thing

I downloaded Google Translate and Waygo, a translation app that got some decent reviews on various travel sites. Neither were accurate, but I tossed Waygo after the first few days.

If you are connected via wifi or cell, you can click the camera icon and a shot of the text is sent...somewhere. And you get a much more accurate translation. Here's part of a receipt:

I especially like the "underwear earth" part

Useful? Kinda? But, hey it's free.
