SnapVerbo app icon SnapVerbo

Share text from another app into SnapVerbo

You don’t need a photo to capture vocabulary. If you can select text in another app, you can send it to SnapVerbo with the system share sheet.

Steps

  1. In any app — Chrome, Safari, Kindle, Messages, Notes — select a word, sentence, or paragraph the way you normally would (long-press and drag the handles).
  2. Tap Share in the selection menu.
  3. From the share sheet, choose SnapVerbo.
  4. SnapVerbo opens to the Shared text screen with the text already filled in. The translation appears below.
  5. Tap the Save to vocabulary icon (bookmark, top-right) when you’re ready to keep it.

Tips

  • The source app and (when available) the page URL are saved with the entry, so you remember where the word came from.
  • If the auto-detected language is wrong, tap the Source language picker (under the text field) and pick the right one.
  • If you want translations in a different language than your default, tap the Target language picker next to it.
  • Tap the speaker icon to hear the original text read aloud.
