automatically recognizes the verb and combines the
parts.
The dictionary entry for the verb is displayed as soon as
you highlight the first part of the verb that appears in the
sentence. For example, if you scan in the sentence "ihr
stellt etwas auf", the dictionary entry for "aufstellen"
appears as soon as you highlight "stellt".
Compound Words
If you scan a word that is not a dictionary entry, but is a
compound word consisting of existing dictionary entries
