twelvemo: Bookmark dictionary. Yup.. thats what I said. BOOKMARK DICTIONARY!!! how awesome is this??!?!?  The Bookmark Dictionary is a handy little device designed by Raghunath Dhayalan that works are much more than a portable dictionary and certainly much more than your average bookmark.  In fact had this little device come along about a decade sooner it might be considered one of the most popular must have items of its time.  Still, despite the popularity of eBook readers there is still a use for this pocket sized info-machine.  If the Bookmark Dictionary was simply a device that would allow you to input a word that you didn’t understand that would make it well worth having but it offers quite a bit more than that.   Once you remove the cover from the Bookmark Dictionary, its built in sensors go to work.  The sensors can capture the image of whatever page you have run it over and will then display them on a small touchscreen display.  If there is a word that you don’t understand on the page, simply touch the word to highlight and you will not only be able to get the Oxford dictionary explanation of the word, but the small devices built in speakers will pronounce the word for you. Because the cover it is stored in is nice and heavy duty plastic you don’t have to worry about cracking the housing of the device and can truly use it as a bookmark when you are done reading for the day.  The Bookmark Dictionary is plenty light weight and portable, measuring just 110 mm long and just 10 mm thick.  As if that wasn’t enough, the rechargeable lithium battery powered device also includes a scientific calculator, just in case you might need it.  Possibly my next buy. :p WHAT IS THIS MAGIC.
