Once the word you want to look up is selected, you press the "Select" key and it looks up the word in the dictionary.
this method works well and could be implement by reinterpreting the number keys on the Hanlin V3. The Amazon dictionary works in a different but interesting way. On it you simply select the line the word is on and it looks up all the words of interest on the line. This is quicker for the user to enter but requires more computer resources. This could also be used.

You might still want to use the dictionary to look up individual words and I have submitted the idea of using T9 (see the wiki) to Jinke to enter words much easier and quicker. I believe this would work well. They seemed very interested.
