Snap is a super smart and convenient Chinese dictionary app. It is inconvenient to go to a search engine to retrieve a Chinese character definition that you do not know how to spell when reading a paper book, or in your daily life. Snap takes a picture of a word, no need to do any manual character selection, and the app will intelligently extract and pick out the character to look up. It's easy to use. Also, it's annoying to select a Chinese character in the space of an inch on your phone screen. With Snap, you don't need to select a character precisely, just copy the entire paragraph and open the Snap App. Snap will automatically read the clipboard and magically pick out the characters with the definitions. Of course, you can also retrieve characters by hand. Snap contains 18,274 Chinese characters, with a complete list of the General Standardized Chinese Character List and the corresponding traditional and variant characters. Snap also provides a bookmark feature. Which can help you learn the Chinese characters you don’t know.
