Booktionary: Camera Dictionary

Reading in a language that isn't your own? Hold the phone over the word and get it in yours. Booktionary looks a word up without you losing your pace. Hold the phone over the page, put the centre ring on the word, and hold steady for about a second. The definition shows up, with the word in your own language above it. Swipe it away and carry on reading. Translations On the opening screen, choose the language of your book and the language for translations — or turn translations off. When a word has an equivalent, "luminous" can show "lumineux" beneath the definition. The equivalents come from Wiktionary's own bilingual entries, so they read like a dictionary rather than a machine translation. Offline The dictionaries are inside the app, so there's nothing to load and nothing to wait for. No network, no account, no sign-in. English and French Over 1.9 million entries. Inflected forms go to the entry you'd actually look up: "mangeaient" gives "manger", "running" gives "run". Choose English or French as the book language before you read. Recognition Tuned for a book held the way you'd normally hold it, not flat on a table. A green highlight sweeps across the word as it reads, so you can see what it picked up and when it's done. Privacy No analytics, no tracking, no accounts, no network requests. Camera frames are processed on the phone and thrown away. Nothing is saved, nothing is sent. Requirements iOS 17. iPhone only.
