Is there a program that is like kindle in this way: ?

#1 Post by vmars316 »

Hello & Thanks,
Is there a program (preferably in tpfc) that is like kindle in this way:
Click on any word in text and the program shows its definition.
Thanks

GoldenDict perhaps... you may want to enable "scan popup".
I recommend trying the latest Early Access builds.

@vmars316

tpfc's WordWeb also excels at providing apt words definitions
(and offers much more besides: synonyms, antonyms, near alphabetic words, similar words, types of, UK|US audio pronunciation...),
provided the word of interest is Image first. (merely clicking a word won't do).

You can setup a hotkey for a dictionary lookup in QTranslate as well, select word, press hotkey. That way you have both a translation and a dictionary tool at hand.

WordWeb:
I like it: CNTRL+rightClick on any word anywhere.


WORDWEB FREE VERSION
Definitions and usage examples
Synonyms and many related words
5000 audio pronunciations
160 000 root words
220 000 word senses
Fixed web reference tabs (Wikipedia)
WordWeb is free subject to licensing terms.

Thanks
