A tour of the Helperbird Dictionary page: what each part of a result means, what the dictionary cannot do, and the guide that covers each job on the page.

- apps
The Helperbird Dictionary is a full page for looking a word up. This guide is the map of that page: what each part is, what the dictionary will not do, and which guide covers each job.
To get the page open, see opening the Dictionary.
What is on the Page
| Part of the page | What it does |
|---|---|
| Search box | Where you type the word. Press Enter, or click the magnifying glass beside it |
| Speaker buttons | One sits beside the word, and one beside every example sentence |
| Wikipedia button | Opens the word's Wikipedia page, for when a definition is not enough |
| Pronunciation | The word written in phonetic symbols, between two slashes |
| Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives, Adverbs | The meanings, grouped by part of speech. Each one has a definition, and an example where the dictionary has one |
| Similar words, Opposite words | Buttons. Click one and that word is looked up |
| Recent searches | Chips for words you looked up before, shown on the empty page. A Clear button empties the list |
What the Dictionary Cannot Do
- It is English only, and the Wikipedia button goes to the English Wikipedia.
- Meanings are grouped into four kinds only: nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs.
- Pronunciation and Opposite words appear only for words that have them. A word showing neither is normal, not an error.
- Looking a word up needs Helperbird Pro. Without it the search clears and a Pro feature message appears instead of a result.
