How to use iSilo with a dictionary?

[ignatz]

I cannot find much in the way of info on iSilo compatible dictionaries. RadleyP just posted this over in the iSilo/Plucker debate:

With the iSilo copy and paste I can look up words in any of the four dictionary programs that I do own.

Phillipe, can you go into a little more detail on this? What dictionaries do you use, which is your favorite? Anyone else that uses a dictionary with iSilo, I would love to hear your experiences...

I regularly use three programs: BDicty (the most versatile), SlovoEd/MultiLex (because it has a very large English-Russian-English dictionary) and PalmReaderPro (which gives you Webster's 11th, the best English language dictionary I have found). I have, depending on my mood, between 5 and 10 multilanguage lexicons in BDicty installed on the card -BDicty also has talking phrasebooks. The use in iSilo is simple: highlight, then copy a word, then open any of the dictionaries and the word is automatically entered.

In looking at their homepage today, I found that Plucker's lookup function works only with Road Lingua (which is OK, but not in my opinion as good as either BDicty or SlovoEd). Philippe Radley

I use KDIC with KDICDa. You can actually find definition without existing iSilo. The pop-up screen of KDICDa will be on top of iSilo
