Kotoba VS NotificationDictionary

Exactly and I don't know why more apps don't do this. I wonder if it's against App Store guidelines to make a dictionary app based on the built-in dictionary.

There are a lot of dictionary apps out there but as usual most developers miss the forest for the trees. I don't know why there's still not a single dictionary app that is blazing fast, use the built-in dictionary and have some common sense design choices (literally not came across a single dictionary app that doesn't enable keyboard as soon as you open it -- it's a dictionary app, why do they think I open the app?!).

Kotoba (https://github.com/willhains/Kotoba) is almost perfect but there's no way to download it from the App Store and I don't want to deal with the hassle of sideloading on iOS as a non-developer.

nice, thanks for info I realized that it would be even better to somehow take information from LookUp dictionaries and save to the app but I guess it will be not possible. I did some research and found this lib: https://github.com/willhains/Kotoba it uses dictionary API somehow to translate things, maybe this would help to get definition/translation for saved vocabulary to the app but in general things gets complicated here :D in ideal I would love to have an object of key (vocabulary) - value (translation) pairs and then export it to csv from there I found out that Quizlet app have feature to import from file it would be ideal way to fast generate flash cards to learn vocabulary

I built an Android application based on Wiktionary to show meanings as notifications while reading from other apps like Chrome. The idea is to select the word and then clicking on meaning in the context menu will show the meaning as notification along with option to read the meaning aloud. This reduces the time to switch to a separate app or Google to lookup the meaning. Currently, English, German, French and Polish language are supported.

Which app you use as dictionary app ? I am using Notification diary which is great but miss some essential features... Any recommandations preferably foss are welcome... TIA...

Notification Dictionary

I too wrote a similar app for my personal problem and also served to be a good way to learn about kotlin and Android ecosystem. I also tried a rewrite in flutter and compose. The idea was to use select the word and then click meaning from context menu so that meaning occurs as notification and disappears in 15 seconds. I used Wiktionary as dataset source and app works offline.
