My Dictionary - polyglot (PRO)

Kataykin: apps for education and lifestyle

About this app

Do you want to learn a foreign language quickly? A unique program for memorizing words will help you to do it.
The main success of learning a foreign language consists in the most rapid vocabulary replenishment: you should repeat words time and again. For this purpose people often use the notepads, what is not always convenient.

New app "My Dictionary: polyglot" combines several functions and advantages:
• 90 kinds of dictionaries (English, German, French, Spanish, etc.);
• 8 types of training: word search, writing the words, searching for a translation, comparison of the studied words and its translation;
• Automatic translation of an adding word;
• Evaluation of learning the words;
• Completely learned words can be hidden or deleted from the main list of study;
• Short statistics, that shows the dynamics of learning;
• Pronunciation of a word;
• Quick search of words and translations in the dictionary;
• Tags for words, search by tags, training by tags;
• Transcription for words and usage examples;
• Archiving database and fast recovery from a backup file;
• Image editor for words;
• Import from Excel (XLS and XLSX);
• Export to Excel;
• Notifications (also for other devices like smartwatch);
• Set of words from server;
• Synchronization with the cloud with the ability to use one database on different devices;
• Ability to use multiple databases of different users on the same device;
• Night mode.

This app allows you to expand your vocabulary fast enough. Its main advantage is the availability of 8 different trainings for learning. 90 kinds of dictionaries include the most popular world languages, such as English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Portuguese. As a result, it is possible to learn sequentially or simultaneously speaking several languages.

This app will be especially useful for those who read foreign literature, visit foreign forums and sites. Finding a new unknown word in the text, the user can simply add it to his dictionary, see the translation, and then learn with the help of training. Usually without a dictionary people forget a new word soon, and seeing it again they have to look for it once more.

Differences from the free version:
• No advertising.
• Unlimited upload images to the cloud
• Unlimited sharing sets of words for all users
• No subscriptions

Ratings and reviews

This is hands down the best app for language learning, I really love the custom transcription box, the "main translation"/"additional translation" separation, custom tags, the learning percentage and "learned"/"not learned" section, and of course all the practice games. The one HUGE problem is it can't distinguish capital and lower-case in terms. You can't have Earth and earth as separate terms and will get an error if you try. They said they would work on this problem last year but never did.

Absolutely outstanding app. Full review on basic version. NB June 2025 update change to export filepath. App now asks you to select a folder to save in and then uses that as default for future exports/imports. This works particularly well for me as I use OneSync for auto backup which can't access system files (in previous save location) unless I transfer them manually to another folder using the Android native app Files. Thanks again to this excellent dev.

I can't believe I've overlooked rebooting this app. It's one of the most useful apps I have on my phone. You can have different dictionaries for different languages. It translates well, the search and tags work great and there are a lot of games you can play to remember your vocab. The only issue I am having for a few weeks is the online text to speech isn't working. I don't know if it's a problem with the app or the web server they are using.
