See it. Hear it. Know it. Tibetan Visual Dictionary teaches everyday Tibetan through pictures and sound. Each word carries Tibetan script, English, and Chinese with pinyin, organized into 40 themed categories you can work through one at a time. BROWSE BY CATEGORY Animals, birds, aquatic life and insects. Fruits, vegetables, grains, dishes, beverages and seasonings. Body parts, family relationships and emotions. Colors, numbers, opposites, common verbs and everyday phrases. Clothing, household items, stationery and toys. Musical instruments and sports. Computers, communications, photography, vehicles and transport. Minerals, precious stones, astronomy and geography. Occupations, education, health, business and economy. PICTURES INSTEAD OF WORD LISTS Most words are illustrated with a photograph, and the rest are shown with a clear symbol. Either way the Tibetan attaches to the thing itself rather than to an English translation. Search by Tibetan script, English, Chinese, or Wylie transliteration. HEAR THE PRONUNCIATION Recorded audio in Tibetan, English and Chinese. Audio playback requires a subscription — details at the end of this description.

Tashi Delek! Most of you know that I have published Tibetan prayer apps before and some of you have commented in the app store that some of the prayers have spelling errors or that audio is incomplete. And later I realized that the app lacked some features which are quite important like, complete audio, auto scrolling of text, dark theme, text size increase option, progress indicator and audio only prayer. So therefore this time, I have done proper research and been working on this project for more than 3 months so that I can bring a better product for you all. And I am sure that this time, you will definitely like this version of the app since it contains most of the features you can think of. If you like then please comment in the app store.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tibetan Visual Dictionary at none against pechaa's 1. Tibetan Visual Dictionary also leads on ads (none vs shown). pechaa's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
