Wordmint · Support

Wordmint turns PDFs into vocabulary workouts: import a document, skim the extracted words, and tap any you don’t recognise to pull a definition from Wiktionary in your preferred language.

Frequently asked questions

Why didn’t a word show a definition?

Wordmint pulls definitions from the public Wiktionary that matches your preferred language (English Wiktionary for English, Spanish Wiktionary for Spanish, and so on). If Wiktionary doesn’t have an entry for that word in that language, there’s nothing to display. You can switch your preferred language in iOS Settings → Wordmint → Preferred Language.

Does Wordmint need an internet connection?

Only for looking up definitions. PDF import, word extraction, saved words, and the Live camera OCR all work offline. The network is used only when you tap a word to fetch its Wiktionary definition.

How do I import a PDF from another app?

Open the PDF in Files, Safari, Mail, or any app with a share sheet → tap the Share button → pick Wordmint. The app opens on the Import tab with your PDF already loaded.

Where is my data stored?

Everything stays on your device. Wordmint uses iOS’s built-in storage and never sends your scanned PDFs, extracted words, or saved definitions anywhere. There’s no account, no cloud sync, and no analytics.
