how to "Dictionary" in two steps

lorenzoens · 03-11-2012, 06:14 PM

Using the dictionary on the edge is quite harassing, if you have to search a lot of words in a page. You need three steps:

1) word touching to select it

2) "lens" tool

3) confirm on tablet side by touching "Search"

...And read the result.

How can we eliminate at least step #3?

Would you prefer a double tap instead?

The worst part for me is the lag after touching "Search". And I wish the curser would go first to the end of the word, since I often have to remove punctuation (period or comma) after the word I'm looking up.
