velivolus Posted April 9, 2007 at 02:33 AM Report Posted April 9, 2007 at 02:33 AM I'm wondering if anybody is familiar with any kind of mouse-over definition software for Mac OS X, comparable to the Powerword dictionary for PC. When I'm using my PC I've found powerword very helpful for elucidating the meanings of characters I don't know (although its definition are often strange or inaccurate!), but when I'm using my iBook, I don't have this luxury, unfortunately. Thanks in advance for all info. Quote

darkprince Posted April 9, 2007 at 09:43 PM Report Posted April 9, 2007 at 09:43 PM Perhaps MDict might be an option. On a side note: Those using windows, unix and linux - stardict is an awesome product ^_^ It will also run on OS X i'm pretty sure you'll need to compile it Quote
