Possible To Access Dictionary Directly On It?

Jun 14, 2012

Is it possible to access the built-in dictionary on the iPad directly, without being in an app? When I want to look up a word, the only way I can figure out how to do it is start a draft email, type the word, then select and define. Surely there is an easier way ...

General :: Define / Manage Doesn't Allow Access To Dictionary

Jun 4, 2014

I am reading German stories on Safari and need German to English dictionary. I downloaded several German to English apps, but they do not show up when I tap a word and select Define and Manage. A number of dictionaries are listed. One of them is German to German. The German to English dictionaries do not appear in the Manage list, even though the apps show as installed.

App To Access Files Directly Placed On Device Via USB?

Jan 15, 2011

I was wondering if there was an iPad app that allows one to access files directly placed on the device via usb? Sort of like a file manager on a cellphone when I store files on the memory card (like music) and cN then access it directly. Sort of want to prevent going through the whole itunes thing when I need to get out the door pretty quickly.

Does 's Ebook Include A Dictionary - Reader Dictionary Feature

Apr 5, 2010

I want to know if the book reader feature in iPad has a dictionary. In other words, can I underline a word in a book and have it bring up its definition. If yes, can you provide a link to an official description that describes this feature? Also, if yes, is it included or an app?I've been doing a lot of browsing and have only found one iffy claim that it has a dict. The absence of touting this feature makes me wonder.Ideally I'd like to hear from someone that has used both a Kindle and the iPad's reader dictionary feature.

ITunes Podcast Subscription / Unable To Access Directly

May 12, 2010

Is there a way to subscribe to podcasts using only and only the iPad?

I think it is ironic that while we have an Apple server that hosts our podcasts, there is not a way to consume or subscribe an acces our podcasts through the iPad and or iPhone or iPod touch.

I would think that with these apps, anyone would be able to subscribe to podcasts in the iPad. But that's not the case. I hope this changes with iPhone OS 4.

Information:
iPhone OS 3.1.3

Dictionary Available In Certain Applications?

Apr 7, 2010

I've noticed when typing an email when a word is underlined in red you can tap on it and then a "replace" button appears that offers the
correct spelling. However when reading email only the option to copy appears. Yet in Pages and iBooks you can tap a word and get the
dictionary. Is Dictonary only available in certain apps at certain times?

How To Add Word In Its Dictionary

Oct 5, 2011

My IPad 2 keeps autocorrecting the spelling of my name incorrectly and a few times I have missed it and created all sorts of confusion (what it is being changed to is nowhere near my real name). Does any know how I can either add my correct name spelling to the dictionary so I doesn't try to auto correct, or to address this another way as it's really frustrating.

Removing A Word From Dictionary

May 11, 2011

When I try to type my name in most documents, it is auto corrected to "Mike Ethan" this is not close to my name and it is annoying to have to remove the autocorrection.. I found the instructions for removing a word from the dictionary but the instructions are incorrect as there is no field in the general page of Setting/keyboard corresponding to "modify dictionary".

Dictionary Not Working Fast

Jul 25, 2010

I make constant use of the built in dictionary.I am reading quite a long book (The Shadow of the Wind)' and now that I am on page 270 out of aprox. 600, everytime I double tap a word to access its definition, it takes around 5 seconds for the dictionary book to show up. The weird thing is that it doesnt happen when I perform the same action on the first 100 pages of the book, for example - it is really way snappier then.Is it a bug or can I do something about it?
