Translate words. Any language.
Free · In‑App Purchases
Know the word in Chinese but need it in Japanese? Switch languages, explore related words and follow the rabbit hole without juggling dictionary apps.
Elseword is an AI dictionary and word translator for every language you use. Look up words and phrases, understand their meanings, and move between languages in one app.
ASK IN YOUR OWN WORDS
“A polite way to disagree.” “A word for someone who cares about tiny details.” Start with an idea, a sentence, or a question. Elseword helps you find the expression that fits.
GO BEYOND THE TRANSLATION
Understand tone, register, grammar, and regional usage. Ask follow-up questions, compare similar expressions, and see how a word changes with context.
SEE WORDS IN USE
Explore example sentences, short dialogues, and paragraphs. Discover sentence patterns and common phrases, with meanings alongside them.
MOVE BETWEEN LANGUAGES
Swipe between language feeds, with your recent discoveries kept in each one. Tap a word to go deeper, then swipe again to explore the same meaning in another language. Follow your curiosity from English to Chinese, Japanese, and beyond.
HEAR IT. READ IT. REMEMBER IT.
Listen to pronunciation and explore readings. Chinese learners can use pinyin and tone colors; Chinese and Japanese learners can explore characters and stroke order.
START WITH WHAT’S AROUND YOU
Type, speak, scan, or paste. Bring in text from a photo, a passage, or a webpage and explore it without losing the context. Start a lookup with Siri or Shortcuts, or assign one to your iPhone’s Action button.
KEEP YOUR DISCOVERIES
Save useful words, find them in Spotlight, search your history, and return to earlier answers. Previously saved content remains available when you’re offline; new AI answers need an internet connection.
For language learners, readers, travelers, writers, and anyone who has ever thought: there must be a word for this.
TRY 50 LOOKUPS FREE
