Search google on word highlight

credulousskeptic · 07-15-2024, 11:14 AM

I am planning on installing KOReader on my Kobo Libra Colour. I want to know if it's possible to add a context menu option to search the word or phrase I highlight on Google in a browser. I am not a native English speaker so google is essential for me. Especially google images. This functionality is already available in the default kobo reader. Can anyone please guide me?

Unfortunately no, KOReader doesn't support any web browser link on Kobo. It does have built-in Google Translate via Google's API though (text only).

Oh that's a bummer. I guess I'll stick to native reader. Thanks for the reply.

You can show links and highlighted text as a QR code btw, so you can easily open them with a phone.
