ONE SEARCH FIELD FOR EVERYTHING

Type Tibetan script, Wylie (for example, "bkra shis" for བཀྲ་ཤིས།), or English in the same search field. Results appear as you type. When there is no exact match, the app shows the closest entries, provides hints for Wylie and spelling mistakes, and offers to search in another direction. Voice search is available on devices with speech recognition.

CLEAR, COMPLETE ENTRIES

Headwords in Tibetan with Wylie transliteration.

Numbered definitions with parts of speech and usage labels such as poetic, archaic, Sanskrit or dialect.

Example phrases and "see also" links where available in the source dictionary.

Copy or share any entry, or report a correction with one tap.

SAVE AND ORGANISE

Tap the heart on an entry to save it. Organise saved words into folders, search within them, and browse them grouped by today, this week, this month and earlier. Your recent searches are also available on the home screen with one tap.

A WORD EVERY DAY

The home screen greets you in Tibetan and English, displays a word of the day, and tracks how many consecutive days you have looked up a word.
