Get help in the app
SnapVerbo has three layers of in-app help that progressively reveal themselves: a quick ”?” sheet, long-press tooltips on most icons, and a way to replay the first-run onboarding tips if you missed them.
The ”?” sheet — How SnapVerbo works
A one-screen recap of what the app does:
- Open Settings.
- Tap the ? icon (top-right, tooltip “How SnapVerbo works”).
Or from the same screen, scroll to Help & tips → tap How SnapVerbo works.
A bottom sheet rises with three bullets and a tip:
How SnapVerbo works
📷 Scan or import text from the real world.
☝ Tap, swipe, or drag to select words and phrases and see meanings.
🃏 Save words to review later with flashcards.
Tip: On many screens you can long-press icons for quick hints.
It’s intentionally short — meant for someone showing the app to a friend, or for you on a day where the loop has gone fuzzy.
Long-press any icon for a tooltip
Most icons in SnapVerbo’s AppBars and toolbars have tooltips. Hold your finger on an icon (long-press) — a small black tooltip pops up naming the action. Examples:
- The download icon in the Flashcards AppBar → “Export”.
- The more (⋮) icon in a wordbook → “More options”.
- The stop icon while a model download is running → “Stop”.
This is the fastest way to confirm “what does this icon do?” without committing to a tap.
Replay the first-run onboarding tips
When you first opened SnapVerbo you saw small contextual coachmarks — on the camera, the OCR result screen, the vocab list, and the flashcards screen. Once dismissed, they don’t come back on their own. To get them back:
- Settings → scroll to Help & tips.
- Tap Show onboarding tips again (lightbulb icon).
- In the dialog “Show onboarding tips again?” → tap Reset tips.
A snackbar confirms:
Onboarding tips will show again over time.
The tips don’t all fire at once — they’re triggered as you naturally land on each screen, so you’ll see them as you go about using the app over the next few sessions.
When to use which
- ”?” sheet — when you want the 30-second mental model. Show a friend.
- Long-press tooltip — when you can almost remember what an icon does and want a quick check.
- Reset onboarding — when you raced past the first-run tips and now wonder what they said.
