While Word Lens does remain one of our favorite pieces of software, there’s no denying the company’s product has a serious feature gap: support for Chinese and Japanese characters. Enter Waygo.
Waygo is basically World Lens for Chinese and Japanese (no Korean yet, unfortunately), and the free app allows you up to 10 translations per day at no charge. If you want the full version, the upgrade will cost you $7 for a lifetime license.
