(New: now it integrates with ChatGPT!!)
Just double click on a word you will see the definition, and click on the app's icon, a dictionary window will pop up. So simple.
The floating definition is the fastest way to look up. In this case the app has builtin dictionaries to support English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean (aka CJK), German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Tajik languages, I am happy to add more languages support if you are interested.
When click on the app's icon, a popup window will show to let you look up words in a batch of your favorite dictionaries. This way you can look more deeply on the words. And it just looks like a traditional dictionary app. It has auto-completion function, word history, keyboard shortcuts, real human pronunciation and many more. Some example dictionaries include Urban dictionary, Oxford, Cambridge, Longman, Thesaurus, Merrian webster, Collins and Wikipedia etc.
My goal is providing a universal tool to look up any word in any language, currently more dictionaries are needed, and more user reviews are wanted to improve its usability, HELP me on github!
But it's not just a dictionary app, it's a tool to help you learn. So the basic learning flow is like this: reading an article, looking up new words, exporting them to Anki after finish the article.
