I often try to narrate my daily life activities in my TL which quickly exposes holes in my vocabulary (or in my memory).
Unfortunately, looking up words is enough of a hassle on my phone that I rarely bother to do so. Do you guys have any tips for super quick lookups? The less effort and faster it is to perform the lookup, the more likely I am to actually look up words or expressions I'm curious about. My mobile device is an iPhone. It's older and doesn't have the "action button".
If I did have the "action button", I was thinking I could maybe have that run a shortcut to... well I didn't actually get that far. Launch a dictionary app? Launch a LLM in voice mode with specific instructions about lookup?
On my Mac, I've got things really dialed in. I have a hotkey to pop up a dictionary app which auto-focuses to the entry field. Another hotkey pops up an AI chat client for when I want to ask about an idiom or point of grammar. But when I'm away from the keyboard, it just feels like too much work to look things up.
