About Send To Dictionary
Look up words in a dictionary from a browser or other apps instantly without copy-paste like a real natively integrated dictionary app.
Now two ways to use!
1. Send/share the selected word(s) to Send To Dictionary.
2. (NEW) Clipboard text lookup - copy text from anywhere and select Send To Dictionary from the Notification Bar. Meaning it can now work with apps like iSilo and other apps that don't have send/share function!
A dictionary helper app that sends/share any word to ColorDict or GoldenDict for instant lookup.
Useful when reading in an app that does not support dictionary lookup directly for example, a web browser.
Since this app depends on ColorDict or GoldenDict (offline/online dictionary tools), Internet connection is not required and is very customizable.
REQUIRES and currently supports: ColorDict and GoldenDict
Thanks to Oldřich for letting me know this app works with GoldenDict too.
PERMISSION REQUIRED: Run at Startup - To be able to automatically run on boot when clipboard lookup is enabled.

I love this app but please add features like that of clip to dictionary(if word is selected in PDF or browser or anywhere it'll give option to search meaning), also feature to search from more installed dictionaries like that of quick search widget, last but not least, add floating window feature like icon floating on the screen.

Simple but can integrates good dictionary apps and you Will be able to use it elsewhere. The only glitch is that it does not gets the copied text if you invoke the main app (not the notification). Also it does but save last search but the last copy. If app gets able to open main floating app with last copied word it will let users call it directly inside other app and got translation with only one tap. Assume that gestures app has to be used to invoke it inside other app. Do it and it will be perfect

Full screen lookup would be nice. Pop-up only covers 20% of the screen. Also a pop-up notification would be nice on copying a word.

It is a very good idea. It worked with Bluedict as well. Why don't you think about the function by context menu or a button in the top bar next to copy, paste and share button that allow user get the meaning quicker

Your idea is brilliant! But your app still can't deliver it. I believe that the people who need this app is someone that want to learn English in the most fast and comfortable way. We just need select the word and colordict appear instantly (no need to tap copy if possible). And we also need an option to enable and disable that function for other using purpose. We should make it floating like apple virtual home button so that when we tap it the search box will appear for fast searching. :) Have a good day :D

I think you need make this app popup is transparent! Auto open keyboard when open popup. It is usefull for some app can't copy word or share word! We still see the work don't need to remember word.

I like the ideas, but by default, goldendict allow user to look up a word using Send to option. So the first option is rather useless, option 2 seems interesting but how about just copy or select the word, this app activates dictionary automatically? Besides, goldendict does not show up properly

5-Stars for excellent execution. Once you have ColorDict and dictionary files installed, it makes it easy to search for a term: anytime & offline. A must have!
