User Reviews
Pros
- Easy to use with a camera-based lookup; quick results and no typing required.
- Helpful for reading physical books; scan text to get meanings instantly.
- Very useful and lightweight—quick access during reading.
Cons
- Word recognition is frequently inaccurate and misreads words (e.g., ischemic read as Ikhemk).
- Only supports one lookup per app launch; you must close/reopen to search a new word.
- Reliability issues: the app often stops working after the first lookup or becomes unresponsive.
- Pronunciation/listening feature does not work for many users.

I’ve tried to love this app, I really have. But I’m deleting it after I post this. It does not recognize the words I want to look up. Ischemic is read as “Ikhemk” - that’s a challenging example but it IS a word in the Dictionary. The first problem is the app’s inability to read - and in turn define - words on a page. This is the point of the app!
Regardless of what word it looks up, I get a misread or wrong answer. Maybe I get a definition for “should” or “disappear”, but beyond elementary English, it does not work. I have all necessary dictionaries turned on so that’s not the issue.
The functionality of the app is also poor. There is no clear way to refresh and look up another word after a definition has been found! I have to close and re open the app to take another action. It’s a GREAT idea but the execution is flawed. Sorry!!!

This app is just so wonderful and simple to use, and it turns out to be super useful when reading hard books; all you do is point the camera at it and it gives you the meaning
