- In the video, it looks like hitting a word in the text is very cumbersome. But you get used to that very quickly and you definitely end up having a smooth user experience all in all.

What's true: When marking a word that's not in the dictionary, you get the dictionary entry of some word that "looks like" the requested word. But in practice that's not helpful at all and you will have to switch to the word list, which suffers from some bugs at the moment (I talked about those bugs just some posts above this one).
