The main screen shows the ordered list of words and a top bar that contains the search icon and main menu.

The definition of words is displayed in the main screen of the Livio Android dictionary. By touching the search icon you get the search box and the software keyboard: here you can start to search words. You can type the symbol ? (question mark) as placeholder for unknown letters.
The symbol * can be used in place of any group of letters. The fullstop symbol . can be used to mark the end of a word.

Some search examples with wildcards:
*se. --> it finds words ending with se
re*se. --> it finds words starting with re and ending with se
d??se. --> it finds words starting with d, followed by two unspecified letters and ending with se
??*se. --> it finds words starting with at least two unspecified letters and ending with se
????????. --> it finds words with eight characters.

After you have typed a word and searched it, the application displays the definition if found. You can swipe to the left / right in order to display previous and next words. When a word definition is shown, you can bookmark it by touching the hollow star symbol on the right side (that will change to a bright yellow star) or read aloud the word by touching the speaker icon on the left side.

You can also tap in the center of the screen and get a bottom bar with few icons: shuffle to get a random word, play icon to read aloud the word definition, copy icon to copy the content to the clipboard and share icon to share the content using installed applications. Highlighted words are useful links to other definitions inside the dictionary.

Several definitions include the translations in other languages, you can jump to another dictionary by tapping the highlighted translated word.
