Flash Dictionary turns the world around you into a vocabulary notebook ā whether you're picking up a new language or pushing into advanced words and phrases in one you already speak. Point your camera at a menu, a book, or a street sign ā Flash Dictionary reads the words on it, looks up what they mean, and tucks them into a notebook you can come back to. Voice and typing work too, for the moments you don't have a photo. WHAT YOU CAN DO ⢠Capture from photos. Snap a picture of any text and the app extracts the words worth learning, in the language you're studying. ⢠Speak it in. Voice dictation lets you save a word hands-free, in 30+ language locales. ⢠Hear it spoken. Every saved word gets a native-quality voice playback, with adjustable speed for tricky pronunciations. ⢠Lean on AI. Meanings, example sentences, and part-of-speech are filled in automatically, so you spend your time learning, not looking things up. ⢠Organise by language. Keep one notebook for Spanish, another for French ā switch tabs with a tap, search across either. HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign in with Apple or Google. 2.
