What is the Dictionary tool?
The Dictionary tool in Companion helps students and educators quickly understand unfamiliar words while staying focused on their learning task.
Built directly into the webpage experience, it provides clear definitions, audio support, and flexible language options without requiring users to navigate away from their work.
💡 For the best experience, we recommend using the Dictionary tool alongside Word Select mode.
