Pros and cons of Linxy - Real-Time Dictionary app for iPhone and iPad

Linxy - Real-Time Dictionary app good for

A very convenient and useful App. If it can cut down on the vibration from holding the phone up to point at the word, itd be a perfect App!
Has all your word lookup needs. I like the camera lookup feature especially.

Some bad moments

It is EXTREMELY difficult to keep it focused on the word and it cant seem to pick up larger words, only fragments of it.
Linxy has some pretty cool technology, but the OCR isnt quite stable enough. A cool peak into the future.
Only picks up portions of words. Hands arent steady enough to keep it focused on a word log enough to read a definition
Easy to use, you should make supprt for ipad and that you can copy paste the definitions. Also make an app that you can put sentences into documents
Just downloaded.Pretty cool so far. Just been experimenting. Has potential.
Just point, that simple no focusing required (automatic), blazingly fast in-depth definitions and a button to pause on the current definition
