Description
Kind of development: New program from scratch
Description of every module: I am looking for someone to help me create an app which can be purchased / downloaded from the APP store, I would like something to be created where I can personally edit and add words / definitions to the words I add.
My app would need to contain a search bar for words and by clicking on the word they are looking for it should take them to the definition provided.
If not too advanced I would like to add audio files / images to these words and definitions.
I have tried to create a simple one, but app builders seem too basic and the coding option seems too advance.
I would like to find someone to create the template in which I can edit myself later.
I have no idea what is required from me? I can give a few example words and definitions for you to work with.
If possible sometimes link words within definitions to additional words. For example: a person would search type Res.... and a list of words come up, similar to anticipating the rest of their search, hypothetically la user is searching for the definition of the word "Respiration".
User selects respiration, and it brings them to a page similar to this format:
Respiration:
A chemical/metabolic reaction which occurs in all living cells, it involves the breakdown of glucose to release energy, it is carried out by an organelle located in the cytoplasm called the mitochondria.
In this definition, users can select other complex words such as metabolic reaction, organelle, cytoplasm, mitochondria.
Preferably this "shortcut feature" would be easy to add, to save users going back to the main search to find these words, definitions will be in the same format as the "Respiration" example.
If anyone is interested let me know.
Thanks
Chris
Description of requirements/functionality: The idea is for people with the app to find words with definitions, that I have created / typed.
OS requirements: Windows
Extra notes: I need to be able to edit the dictionary from windows.

Hi Chris,
Please confirm if you are looking to develop a system where you can add new words from admin panel and student can search for definitions through app?
Looking forward to your reply
Thanks.Christopher R.04 Aug 2016Yes this is correct, it is rather more a glossary than a dictionary thinking about it. But yes I would like to add words and definitions myself
Ways and Means Technology P.04 Aug 2016Hi Chris,
Thanks for getting back to us.
We would like to have a quick discussion on the features that you want in the app. So, can you please share your availability for discussion?
As this would help us in submitting our proposal with cost and time estimates.
Looking forward to your reply

Do you want the app for Android or iPhone? Or would a web-based app that requires a network connection (working cross platform) also be allright?
Christopher R.03 Aug 2016I would ideally like for both as nearly all students have either iPhone or android phones. I do not know much about apps, when you mean a web based app, will this mean it relies on a connection to access the vocabulary? Rather than work from a data bank in the app itself?
Asbjørn S.03 Aug 2016The easiest and cheapest, but also very functional solution would be to make a webbased system (website/"app") that scales according to the resolution / device its viewed from. Then students can access it from PC, Android/iOS phones/tablets and get an interface that is well suited for the device and that always have the latest dictionary words and updates. Also easy to add pictures/audio/video for streaming. Its possible to make an app for Android, windows phone and iOS and another interface to view / edit words online or using windows software. It's mostly going towards cost, features and how important "offline-mode" is. But from my experience internet connectivity in educational settings are getting better and better, at least where I'm working. It would be nice to know a bit about your thoughts on making it a web-based system rather than an app, and Id gladly discuss the pros and cons with you as well if you are interested.
