What's New in Try Bayan

1.1.1

August 11, 2026

Three readings for every word you tap. The definition card used to have one source. It now has three: • Steingass — the 1892 classical lexicon, instant and offline, as before • In this line — what the word means in the bayt you tapped it in, in Farsi and in English, with a sentence on the job it is doing there • Wiktionary — always one tap away, not only when the card is empty Words that came back "no definition available" now have something to say. The contextual reading is optional and off by default; it runs under the same Cloud Analysis consent you already control in Settings. Tap-to-define comes to the Faal. The poem you are handed straight out of onboarding was the one screen where tapping an archaic word did nothing. It works there now.
