Say the Word

Select any word on the page just by speaking it aloud.

When both hands are on the book, saying a word out loud is faster than reaching for the screen. Lupa listens, matches what you said against the words it can see, and selects it.

Voice selection is a Premium feature. New accounts get a 7-day trial.

How to use it

  1. Hold the camera over the page. Wait for the page to stabilize.
  2. Press and hold anywhere on the screen. You'll feel a short haptic — Lupa is now listening.
  3. Say the word clearly.
  4. Release. The matching word on the page is selected and the definition appears.

When it works best

  • Quiet rooms. Background noise hurts recognition.
  • Words of three or more letters. Short words like a or I are harder to match unambiguously.
  • Words that are actually visible in frame. Lupa only matches against what it can see.

If the match is wrong, just tap the correct word — the tap always wins over the voice match.
