Provided herein is a dictionary and/or translation device that is handheld and, thus, portable. The device may be incorporated in or with a cellular telephone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a pager, a handheld computer, or the like. A page of text (or a portion thereof) may be photographed as a digital image, and the digitally photographed page may be converted to electronic text using an optical character recognition system. The converted text may be viewed on a display that includes a system for highlighting a word or words from the output of the optical character recognition system for definition or translation. The definition or translation of the highlighted word or words may be provided and output to either one of the display or an audio output (such as a speaker) or both.
