Dictionary Programs (Windows Mobile)

Jim Chapman · 12-24-2009, 05:26 AM

I am adding dictionary support to Freda (see this thread).

Obviously I want to do that by integrating with other dictionary programs rather than writing my own (all that morphology stuff is just too difficult for me to handle

). So I can target this right, can readers please let me know which dictionary software they are using now. My particular interest is Windows Mobile (because that's the platform Freda works on), but users of other platforms are free to respond too.

I will in any case be doing integration with Paragon/SlovoEd because it's really easy and they already sent me instructions. But I'd be glad to hear of any/all other dictionary systems that I should integrate with (and particularly glad to be pointed at 'developer how-to' instructions explaining how to do lookup programmatically).

Thanks,

Jim

Til a few weeks back, I´ve used MobiPocket Software on my S60-phone with mobi dictionary.
I yet have to see which (if) I would use on windows mobile.

My favorite, goldendict. Cross-platform and it has been ported to MAMEO.
May be it could be used on Windows Mobile

Merry Christmas

I've never actually used a dictionary in an ebook reader in 10 years of electronic reading. Don't rush.
