SnaPanda App – The Digital Dictionary
July 19, 2011 by Cathy
SnaPanda app is a digital dictionary for Android devices, a necessity for students, professor and anyone that wants to have an English dictionary on hand anytime. If you are learning the English language then this is the app to download.
Android phone owners now have a chance to learn and master the English words wherever they are and anytime they feel like it. In fact, if you are stuck in traffic or on a long road trip the SnaPanda is the solution to take boredom away. This is not only a great app to help you in your wait, but can improve your knowledge tremendously as well.
The app is OCR type of application, and enables anyone to capture the English word written on a document easily. Just one touch and you will have the chosen word display on your mobile screen, followed by the definition. That is how easy it is to know the meaning of a particular English word, which makes this app a great tool for those learning the language for the first time.
The SnaPanda is an effective Android app but there are things that you must avoid to make certain that it is accurate and could perform accordingly. For one, any oblique or slant capture can inhibit the OCR, italic and non-standard fonts are still difficult for the OCR to recognize. Your hand must be steady when capturing the words and the spacing of the letters must also be captured to ensure that the app can read the word.
Smartphone or Android device users can easily download this app for free at the android market or by visiting its website. The app is worth a space on your memory, as you can enhance your word power and even find it useful on many occasions. If you are not native English speaker then it is imperative to have this app on your mobile phone.

Hi Brad, thanks for the message. If you want you can add a link to that article on your “They-like-my-panda links” on your blog hint hint lol.
Thanks for the update as well, how soon are we talking about with the new version?
Cheers

Hi Michael-
Nice to hear from you. Went digging around the site, and I’m impressed. I’ve subscribed to keep up to date
The new version should be out within the next 2 months. One of the fun things about living in France is that the country comes to a stop in August. Everyone’s on vacation. Gotta enjoy life, right ! Well, so are the SnaPanda developments, but the version is really close. I think we’ll have something come September.
I’ll shoot you an email when it’s updated. And feel free to check out the Mint Gadgets in prime location on my blog (loved you “hint, hint LOL”).
