## What is Word Capture?

Have you ever stumbled on a word and you didn’t know what it meant or how to say it. 

Well Word Capture has you covered. Just scan the word using your camera and listen to how to say it. Also you can see the description of the word using the on device dictionary.

Scan It, Listen & Learn It!


HOW THE APP WORKS

Open the app on your iPhone and hold your phone over the page with the word on it. Select the word on your phone screen. Once you select the word it will appear at the bottom of the screen with a quick Play button to listen to the word. You can also click on see description to learn more about the word.

You can click "View Recent Captures" to see and learn words you have scanned in the past.

From inside the "View Recent Captures" you can edit or delete recent captures from the list. You can also manually add your own capture yourself.

Make sure you can read the word on your screen or Word Capture won’t be able to read it either. Word Capture see what you see.

EVERYTHING IS DONE RIGHT ON YOUR DEVICE!

Finding that word takes 0% of data! If you aren’t in an internet connected area you will still be able to scan the word.

If the app doesn’t find the word you selected, it will ask you to select it again.

You can also customize the speed and language of the play button, now included in the Settings section.
