INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Dictionary app Reverso is getting new features with its 8.0 update
There are new exercices and games to help you learn new words
Reverso also now has an integrated thesaurus.Reverso is one of the biggest dictionary players out there
It now has over 40 million unique visitors on its website and app every month
It’s a weird industry because a significant part of the traffic on those reference websites comes from search engines
And Google Translate is quite dominant as well.So how do you go beyond search engine optimization Reverso has been building many different
services to become your go-to destination when it comes to your language needs
For instance, you can translate a word or a sentence and find contextual examples
You can access verb conjugation, translate big chunks of text, access traditional dictionaries and more.More interestingly, the company has
been focused on language learning for its mobile app
Every time you search for something, you can add a word to your phrasebook
After that, you can then go through your phrasebook with a quiz to learn those words.Your data will get synced across multiple devices as
You could install Reverso’s Chrome extension to add words to the mobile app for instance.If you don’t have time to add words yourself,
the company is also putting together lists of not-so-simple-but-generally-useful words
The idea is that you could be learning new words when you’re waiting in line instead of wasting time scrolling through feeds.In addition
to those new exercices, Reverso now has an integrated thesaurus
You can search for a word and tap the tiny “S” in the corner to access related words
The company has been crunching all its translations to put this together
Chances are that two words that have the same translation in multiple languages probably mean the same thing.Reverso isn’t necessarily
reinventing the wheel with all those services
But there’s an advantage in having the same company run all of those services
You can jump from one service to another, add words from multiple scenarios and more.
