Piksi — Scan & Define Words
Camera Dictionary & Vocabulary
USD 5.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Featured by Apple's editorial team.
Piksi is the camera dictionary that gives you instant, contextual definitions for any word you see in the real world.
You're on the Tube, nose in a paperback, and a word stops you cold. Or you're deciphering a lease in a language you half-speak. Or staring at a menu in Marseille wondering what you're about to order.
POINT. TAP. UNDERSTAND.
Open Piksi, point your camera at any text, and tap the word you need. In under a second, you get:
• A clear, contextual definition — not a generic dictionary dump, but an explanation that accounts for the exact sentence the word appears in
• Pronunciation with audio playback
• Etymology and word origin
• Translations across your languages
This is what a dictionary should feel like in 2026.
DISCOVER 5 NEW WORDS EVERY DAY
Every day, Piksi selects 5 rare words you've never seen — curated based on the words already in your library. Swipe right to capture, left to skip. Each word comes with a full card: definition, etymology, example sentence, and category. It's the fastest way to expand your vocabulary beyond what you read.
WORKS ACROSS LANGUAGES
Point your camera at text in any supported language and get definitions in your own. Reading a French novel? A German contract? A menu in Italian? Piksi explains every word to you in the language you think in.
Supported languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Turkish, Arabic, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese.
BUILD YOUR BEAUTIFUL LIBRARY
Every word you look up or discover can be saved to your library with one tap. Piksi organises your words into thematic collections — Nature, Arts, Emotions, Science, Travel, and more.
• Spaced repetition reviews timed to how your memory actually works
• Watch your vocabulary grow over time with detailed stats
WORKS ON EVERYTHING
Books, textbooks, restaurant menus, street signs, newspaper articles, legal documents, handwritten notes, product labels, museum plaques — if it has text, Piksi can read it.
MADE FOR READERS
Whether you're deep in a novel, studying a textbook, deciphering a contract, or exploring a city abroad — Piksi stays out of your way and gives you what you need: the meaning, instantly.
