1. Get a dictionary from http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdxf/files/dicts-XDXF/ and unpack it. You will need a tool capable of unpacking .bz2 archives. The Webster is in the file comn_sdict_axm05_webster_1913.tar.bz2.
2. Get the PocketBook converter: http://pocketbook.com.ua/file/DictionaryConverter.zip
3. Unpack it with all subdirs to the same directory as the dictionary
4. Run
converter.exe dict.xdxf eng
That's all! The resulting Webster is about 6.3 MBytes. |
Hello!
Is there any way to correct the display error in the phonetic transcriptions of this dictionary. Several characters, hyphens, etc., are replaced be a square.
Is there any way to mend this?
Thanks.
