About Hawksword Dictionary
Strong vision of Hawks for words, that’s what we mean by “Hawksword” and so as the app does.
For dictionary look ups, now you don't need to type or speak up the same word with multiple retry. Hawksword simplifies that job for you.
Features of hawksword Dictionary:
1) Camera capture and OCR recognition to scan books, newspapers and all print media (requires permission of FLASH LIGHT, CAMERA and AUTO FOCUS. So, might not be available in all the devices)
2) Voice recognition with the list of all the probable gueses
3) Clipboard access for retriving a text from other applications like web browser, pdf viewer

5) Type support
6) Quizing among friends via social network sharing
7) Offline dictionary, no data connection required

Really good alternative (uses text recognition) to other usual dictionaries where you have to type and search for the particular word. Just click snapshot of the word and it'll do the rest...

The dictionary could not translate much of anything. Weak ocr or weak database. Either way it does not provide its intended function. +1 point for limited permissions.
