Snapanda.com – Word Definitions By Touching Them

Snapanda.com

Snapanda.com is the site where you can download a real useful app that will let you find the meaning of any word in the English language. “Well, that is what a dictionary does”, you might be thinking right now. Not quite.

Imagine the chance to have the meaning of any word from any text only seconds after reading it, without even typing it. Now it looks a bit more interesting, for sure. Grab your smart phone (for the time being one using Android, but they are working on the iPhone version) and capture the word from a text as clearly as possible. Then just by snapping it on the screen of your device, a whole definition will appear at the moment.

The time you’ll save is quite a lot using this tool. You won’t need to type it and so hold the smart phone in both of your hands. Just holding it in your palm and using your thumb from that screen is enough. So as well as quickness you will have comfort added to your word searches. Now that dictionary looks much less practical, doesn’t it?

Maybe in your work or some special course you are taking or other specific environment, you use a certain type of vocabulary, with special terms from that topic. In that case, you can personalize a database with all the vocabulary you have captured, to have it at hand any time you need it. Still more saved time here, by not having to make the search again, as fast as it already may be.

Besides, you won’t need to worry if you are taking a good capture of the word image with your phone. The app has an indicator that will change from red to green to let you know which is the right distance and angle to make it.
