## Review summary

Users praise the camera-based, typing-free lookup and its usefulness for reading physical books, but reliability issues severely limit practical use. Key problems are inaccurate OCR, the inability to perform multiple lookups in one session, frequent crashes after the first word, and non-functional pronunciation. Addressing OCR accuracy, session stability, and audio features would substantially improve the experience.

### 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.
