私辞書は、言葉を記録し、自分だけの辞書をつくるアプリです。 覚えたい単語、心に残ったフレーズ、作品のタイトル、夢中になっているものやこと、気になるテーマ、読書中に出会った一節。 日々の中で出会った言葉を、自分なりの意味や説明と一緒に残していくことができます。 ただのメモとして書き残すだけではなく、辞書という形で記録していくことで、記録内容が自然と整理された状態で積み上がっていきます。 自分の中にある言葉を記録する。 自分の意味で表現する。 あとから見返し、変化があれば書き換える。 書き換える前の内容も、履歴として残せます。 そうして積み重なった記録は、自分だけの辞書になっていきます。 【こんな辞書を作ってみるのはいかがでしょう?】 ・生活の中で出会った大切にしたい言葉を集める辞書 ・星の名前を、その星に関する神話も絡めながら記録する辞書 ・研究のために読んだ論文で難しかった言葉をメモする辞書 ・読んだ小説や詩の一節から心に響いた表現を集める辞書 ・恋人の寝言を記録する辞書 ・子供のかわいい言い間違いを記録する辞書 ・日記やエッセイを書くための辞書 ーーーー 使い方に決まりはありません。 学びのために使ってもいい。 創作のために使ってもいい。 好きなものを集める場所にしてもいい。 ただ、ふと気になった言葉を残すだけでも構いません。 目まぐるしく過ぎていく毎日・ただ消費されていく効率社会の中で、好きなものや気になることを自分の言葉として積み上げていく。 私辞書は、その記録が自分に戻ってこられる場所になっていくように作った、言葉の記録アプリです。 利用規約(EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
