On Touch Dictionary

About On Touch Dictionary Android App

To get an instant definition of a word simply copy and paste the word into the system clipboard and voila, the definition appears. You do not even need to move away from the currently open application. This app works as background service, which starts automatically the moment device boot is complete (of-course, this feature can be turned off anytime). The utility is available with any application that supports text copying (applicable to most of the browsers, e-book readers, pdf file readers, word processors and other text based regular apps).

Other features include:

1. Fully offline. No need for internet connectivity.
2. Add to or modify the dictionary database.
3. The app maintains a list of recently searched words.
4. Can also search word definitions like any other regular dictionary app.

Known Technical Issues:

1. Google Chrome browser does not support text copying in some Samsung devices. The app may stop responding in such cases.
