When you first open the dictionary app, the default settings may be set so that examples, sentences and others are only displayed with three dots. To change this, you will find a list item called “Layout of Words” under the settings (accessible via the three bars at the top left). Below this there are a few options with which you can activate the complete display of sentences or examples by ticking the box. You can also disable list items you dont need. After refreshing the app, all changes will be applied.

With the Note and Tags function, it is now possible to categorize words into your own specifications. This option can be found for each word via the three dots on the side. A small window then opens under Note and Tags where you can enter your own translation or notes using a colon and/or hashtags.

Function 1: Tag.

With the Tag function, words can be assigned to their own category. After entering this hashtag, all words that have been given this hashtag are displayed. This function also works if you first filter for a collection and then search for the specific hashtag in this collection.

Function 2: Notes.

You can use this function to enter your own translations or other information. When searching in the search bar, it is sufficient to enter these notes. Words that contain these notes are prioritized in the search results.

Each word has a Web Resources item located under the three dots. To add your own website in the Pro version, first click on the gear at the bottom of the list. Scrolling down to the bottom you will find three custom fields. Here you can enter your desired reference.

How to: Using Duden as an example. First find the website on the Internet, open it and search for any word. Then copy the URL and switch back to the application. Paste the copied URL into the URL pattern. There is also an overview of the abbreviations you can use, which you may need to use for other URLs. In this example, all you need to do is replace the word you just searched for in the URL with the capital T in curly brackets. After pressing OK, you can now look up your word on this page. If you have activated the slider, you will see your web address as a Quick Access.

If you come across words on the Internet that you are not familiar with, you can easily look them up in our application.

Simply highlight the word you want to look up, click Share, and then select your version of the dictionary application. The highlighted word will open in the application and you can continue to interact with the application as usual.

Conversely, you can share words from the application with others. To do this, click the three dots, scroll down, click Share, and then select the application you want.

There are several options during the search.

First, you can select different translation languages or change the language you want to search for first. To do this, simply click on the small flag icon in the top corner and select your preferred language.

Secondly, it is possible to search for several words at the same time. Just type the words with spaces in the search bar and they will be displayed first.

In addition, the search allows a certain amount of error tolerance and will still find words even if you have made a mistake. However, this error tolerance only goes up to a certain level of spelling mistakes.

Third, it is also possible to search for inflected words or other forms of words. For example, if you search for the inflected form of “Häusern”, you will also find the base word “Haus”.

First:

To simplify searching, it is possible to double-click on the control bar of the browse tab to open the search bar and start searching directly. In the Favourites tab, multiple clicks will cycle through the collections created.

Second:

When you select a word, the detailed description of the word opens. There are three sub-pages for each word. The dots at the bottom tell you which one you are on. The first page contains the grammar and word forms. The second page shows the uses, meanings and translations. The third page gives examples of the word in use.

Third:

For words with the same spelling but different meanings, all the words are listed at the top and you can switch directly between them. In the case of adjectives, you will find the other intensified forms.

The Pro version, available for a nominal one-time fee, offers the following advantages over the free version:

First, users are no longer subject to AD restrictions. Second, the number of words that can be stored in collections is unlimited, as is the number of words displayed in the Recents tab.

Third, voice output is enabled for example sentences and word forms.

Fourth, all custom web resources and collections can be used.

Fifth, the Ai chat is not limited and additionally uses an advanced chat model.

In addition to all the Pro advantages just mentioned, the Pro offline version allows users to download the entire dictionary and use it offline.

(Android)

To activate collections on the Android version of the app, you can go to the gear under the collections list item at the three dots of each word. This will open the advanced collections menu. Here you can assign the available slots by entering a name for your collection and, if necessary, activate the slider next to it to display the collection in Quick Access.

(IOS)

To activate collections in IOS, you can do so from the Collection tab. There is an Edit button at the top of the tab that opens all collections. You can then enter the desired collection name.

To display them in the quick access, you have to go to the settings and under Collections you can activate the slider for the respective collection.

In both versions it is possible to add a word to several collections. This specific word will then be displayed in all collections to which it is assigned.

Quick Access collections appear on the first page of the Word menu, while other collections appear only in the submenu.
