Google, Inc. (GOOG) Acquires World Lens Maker, Quest Visual

Google, Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOG) has acquired Quest Visual, maker of the Word Lens app. The following is from the Quest Visual website:

With Word Lens, we've seen the beginnings of what's possible when we harness the power of mobile devices to "see the world in your language."

By joining Google, we can incorporate Quest Visual's technology into Google Translate's broad language coverage and translation capabilities in the future.

As a thank you to everybody who supported us on our journey, we've made both the app and the language packs free to download for a limited time while we transition to Google.

We're looking forward to continuing our work at Google - stay tuned!
