Updates

Save words your way

Use the bookmark icon in any bubble to save a word manually, or turn on “Automatically save words to vocabulary” to keep saving words as you go.

Preview bubbles as you customize them

A live bubble preview in Settings shows your appearance changes in real time.

Select words with the DualSense touchpad

Drag across the touchpad to select a word in the overlay, then press the touchpad to confirm.

Move bubbles out of the way

Drag a bubble by its word with the mouse. On a gamepad, hold L2 or R2 and move either stick.

A smoother, clearer overlay

By default, bubbles now avoid covering other highlighted words. They also animate into place and use a softer, more rounded superellipse shape.

Faster, more accurate recognition

Text recognition is faster and more accurate, with especially noticeable improvements for Japanese. Highlight regions and the context saved with vocabulary words are detected more reliably.

Bug fixes

This release also fixes a range of smaller issues.

Offline dictionary

Choose “Download offline dictionary” for your learning language, then use it without making network requests.

Three usage modes

• Prefer AI explanations: use the local dictionary only when there is no internet connection.
• Prefer offline dictionary: use it when the word is found, otherwise ask AI.
• Full offline mode: use only the local dictionary.

Local dictionaries are free and unlimited. Keep in mind that their explanations are often generic and overly detailed, and they are less likely to find and explain idioms.

Show pronunciation

In “Vocabulary,” hover over a word to see its pronunciation in the International Phonetic Alphabet. To show IPA in explanation bubbles, open “Settings” → “Appearance” and turn on “Show pronunciation.” It works with offline dictionaries too.
