“Somewhere on the App Store spectrum, between the travel phrasebooks and those apps that replace your mouth with a slightly weirder mouth, you’ll find iLingual, an app that steals your lips, and uses them to speak three different languages,” John Herrman reports for Gizmodo.
“Here’s how it works: you snap a picture of a mouth—yours, your girlfriend’s, or just a photo from a magazine—which iLingual then analyzes and converts for animation,” Herrman reports. “Then, you choose a phrase from the app’s 400-strong library, hold your iPhone over your mouth and…”

iLingual is free and comes in French, German, and Arabic versions. More info and download link via Apple’s iTunes App Store here.

As they say in the Guinness commercials: Brilliant!
I am waiting for the Universal Translator. Every day my lifelong dream of Star Trek becoming reality gets one step closer….
Save your Flame posts.. I will do it myself…
NERRRRDD NERD! NERD! NERD!!
Nothing to flame here. That’s a really funny cool FREE app!
As you can see the reactions were actually good and you can’t screw up by saying something bad because you are not saying anything actually.
The universal translator would be really cool.
That’s pretty useful.
Nicely done!

NERRRRDD NERD! NERD! NERDS RULE THE WORLD!!!”
There, fixed that for ya’!
Hmmm…you could get arrested doing that!
The Universal Translator already exists on my Pomegranate Phone!! Down to all iPhone users! The Pomegranate Phone is the best! http://www.pomegranatephone.com/
Nerd in Paris.
Trumps my life.
Slightly creepy. But useful.
Thanks MacBill! Now I know what phone I’m getting. I needed a new coffee maker as well, so… wow!
Mmmmm… Sumatran!
MW= high, as in I’m really high right now.
@MacBill: I WANT IT!!! When’s it coming out? I NEED A HARMONICA PHONE!!!
Would have come in handy in Punta Cana last week. Oh well, Pina Coladas make you not care. Also, that Mamajuana, too – good stuff!
Parisian women ooze sexuality. That’s all I have to say.
I’m so glad it comes in Arabic. Now they can use the iPhone (a device made by “infidels” by the way) to yell “Allah Akbar”, just as they’re about to murder lots of innocent people.
Muslims are every bit the modern day Nazis, except without a bath.

You should take a trip to the average mall in Southern California and you’ll be practically tripping over hot American women. And unlike French women, they don’t smell like cigarette smoke and aged cheese. Plus which, they don’t have hairy armpits and legs.
Punts Cana? Sorry, that wld be Spanish
Josh,
You may want to stop right there. You are a major embarrassment to all normal Americans.
@ Josh…
I would have to say that you have not really been out in the world very much.
Every country has its hags and hotties… Just the reality of PERCEIVED beauty.
Come to any beach in Australia and you will see either. But a hottie to you may just be a hag to someone else.
Oh, and by the way, if you happen to look around – the USA model of how life should be isn’t working too well.
I have met elegant and desirable women from many countries of the world – none smelled of cigarettes, cheese (all cheese is aged), body odour, and have bradded armpit and leg hair.
Your Faux Gnus prejudices are showing!
As for the topic… I just downloaded them and I will give them a true test..

Looks are clearly in the eye of the beholder. Considering that 33% of Americans are overweight, 20% are obese and 5% are morbidly obese, it is obvious that their own criteria of a hottie is different from any other part of the world, where population is generally much more slender.
