Thank you very much!

이앱 최고

모르는 단어를 캡처만 하면 되니까 편리해서 너무 좋네요!!!!!

很新颖的操作

一开始以为不能识别单词 摸索了一会儿才明白是直接在实时屏幕上点击单词查看解释 有种手持ar的感觉lol 只是不明白捕捉页面下方两个国旗是什么意思 按常理应该是读取和翻译的两种语言 但是实际上点击单词出来的单词解释也只是单词本身的语言 并没有出现翻译 是我操作不对吗 还是翻译本来就不是这个app的功能呢

Works very well!

Scanned random headlines in a large format Spanish history book. Takes a little practice to pull back far enough so the app can see the whole word but then it zooms in on the word to complete the scan. Will definitely use it when I'm studying. Am giving it four out of five stars--totally unfair for a new release but would love to be able to scan a phrase and not just a single word. (The developer is way ahead of me, he was already working on that! So check back often—this app is just at the beginning of its development cycle.) For sure this will be a must-have the next time I'm in a Spanish-speaking country. Well done!

Thank you so much for these kind words. As a solo developer, this truly motivates me! You're right, phrase scanning is already in the works. Stay tuned, and happy studying!

扫单词都没反应,不是垃圾是什么?装了白费劲。

Dear user, thank you for your feedback. It appears you downloaded the app from the US App Store. If you were scanning Chinese words, please make sure your reading language is set to Chinese in the capture screen. We haven't received similar reports from other users. If the issue persists, please contact us at support@piksiapp.com 亲爱的用户,感谢您的反馈。您似乎是从美国App Store下载的应用。如果您在扫描中文单词,请确保在扫描界面将阅读语言设置为中文。我们没有收到其他用户的类似反馈。如果问题仍然存在,请通过 support@piksiapp.com 联系我们。
