About this app

Poe is your essential language learning companion. It's like Yomichan but for your phone or tablet, giving you the power to learn from your favorite apps and media.

Simply hover over text in any app, website, e-book, or even your live camera feed, and Poe will display word definitions, translations, and more.

Features
- On-Screen Dictionary: Instantly look up words by hovering over them.
- Camera Text Recognition: Translate and define text directly from your camera.
- Seamless Integration: Works most apps like Chrome, YouTube, Netflix, Kindle, and more.
Quick Interface: Poe is ready to go, docked on the edge of your screen whenever you need him.

Whether you're learning Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, English, or any language with supported dictionaries, Poe Language Lens brings efficient, context-aware learning to your fingertips.

* Great as a tool for students studying foreign languages, especially at language schools.
* Fast! No internet connection needed, dictionaries and AI used to quickly bring relevant info to you.
* Current dictionaries: English to English, Japanese to English, English to Japanese, Chinese to English, and Vietnamese to English.
* More language support coming soon.
* Like Yomichan (now Yomitan) but for mobile.

Accessibility Service API Usage Disclaimer:

This app utilizes the AccessibilityService API to enhance its functionality and provide a better user experience. Below is a detailed explanation of how and why this API is used in the app:

1. Purpose of AccessibilityService API Usage
- The AccessibilityService API allows Poe to take a screenshot of everything on your screen and process it for language information. The API also allows Poe to see when you interact with other apps, so that it may periodically take a new screenshot and re-process. This only occurs while you are interacting with Poe in an undocked state.

2. Data Privacy and Security
- This app does not collect, or store any user data. While using Poe with the Poe Boosted feature, data may be sent for processing to a cloud server for processing but is not stored or retained.

3. Consent and Transparency
- The use of the AccessibilityService API is fully disclosed to users, and it is only activated after explicit user consent.
- Users have the option to enable or disable the service at any time through the app and the device's Accessibility settings.

Ratings and reviews

I would appreciate it if you could add a lifetime plan instead of a subscription, and/or offer localized pricing with cheaper subscription rates for third-world countries.

This is the best pop up dictionary I'm aware of on android, the developer is responsive to feedback and it functions fairly seamlessly without flaw. My issues with Anki integration are being worked on, so since that is the case I hold no complaints.

good. As a Japanese learner, Chinese font is for some reason used but I'm pretty sure it's just my device not being in Japanese.

What’s new

Fixed bug causing quick tile to stop working after awhile.
