Linxy by EvenPixel is a dictionary app that you can take with you on the go to ensure you always know what you're talking about.

How many times have you encountered a word only to wonder what it means, or you’ve stopped mid-sentence to think “am I using this word correctly?” This app can answer those questions for you. It’s perfect for students and anyone who wants to be able to look up a word anytime and anyplace.

Now where this app gets really cool is how it works. All you need to do is point the camera a text and the app will give you the dictionary meaning of the word. This is a great way to learn new words and even interesting facts as this app can work as an encyclopedia as well.

The app works as an augmented-reality reading app. Point to text in books, magazines, newspapers, leaflets, whatever you like. And if you'd rather you can manually input the word. There are Wiktionary and Wikipedia definitions, it's able to work offline, and there are more than 400,000 definitions to find. Whether you point your camera at the word or manually input it you’ll find the definitions appear extremely fast.
