Point your camera at any text, tap a word, get instant definition & translation
Reading a book in a foreign language? Stop fumbling with dictionary apps. Just point your camera at the page, tap any
word, and get its definition and translation instantly — all without leaving the page.
TapWord is built for language learners who read physical books, menus, signs, or any printed text. No typing, no
copy-pasting, no switching between apps. See a word you don't know? Tap it.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Point your camera at any printed text
2. Tap the word you want to look up
3. Get the definition and translation in a snap
That's it. The app freezes the sharpest frame, zooms in on your word, and shows you everything you need — definition,
translation, part of speech, and example sentences.
SMART VOCABULARY BUILDING
TapWord tracks how often you look up each word. Look up the same word a few times and the app suggests saving it. Keep
looking it up and it saves automatically. Your vocabulary list builds itself from the words you actually struggle with —
no manual effort required.
Customize this behavior with learning presets:
• Casual Learner — relaxed thresholds for leisurely reading
• Active Learner — balanced defaults for daily study
• Power User — aggressive saving for fast-paced learning
• Advanced — set your own exact thresholds
100+ LANGUAGES
Translate between over 100 languages. Download language packs once and use them offline — no internet connection needed
while you read. Text recognition and translation both run entirely on your device.
Popular languages: Czech, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and
many more.
WORKS OFFLINE
Text recognition works without internet right out of the box. Translation models download once and work offline forever.
Your vocabulary stays on your device. Read anywhere — on a plane, at a cafe, in bed — with no connectivity required.
