  • Vocabulary list: creates a list instantly into a new doc, including selected words, the dictionary definitions, images from Widgit Symbols and an editable notes column.
  • Check it: Reviews writing for incorrect grammar, spelling (phonetic), capitalization, punctuation, verb tense and more.
  • Audio maker: converts selected text into an audio file and automatically downloads.
