## What is SilkDictionary?

SilkDictionary is a specialized reference dedicated to silk: sericulture, reeling, raw silk processing, weaves, fabric grades, and historical silk terminology.

From Charmeuse and Crepe de Chine to Bombyx mori and momme weight, SilkDictionary puts nearly 300 clear definitions in your pocket.

KEY FEATURES

• Silk Word of the Day
A new silk term every day on the Library screen — listen to it, shuffle for another, or open the full entry.

• A–Z Library & Instant Search
Browse alphabetically with the A–Z index, or search by term name or inside definitions, with ranked results.

• Spoken Pronunciation
Hear any term and its definition read aloud, each in its own language, with adjustable speed and pitch.

• See Also
Each entry links to related glossary terms mentioned in its definition, so you can keep exploring.

• Quizzes
10-question multiple-choice rounds that mix "what does this term mean?" and "which term matches this definition?", with score, streak, and best-streak tracking.

• Bookmarks, Recent & My Terms
Bookmark terms, revisit recently viewed entries, and add your own custom terms and definitions in any of the 15 languages, one at a time or in bulk with CSV import and export. You can also hide the built-in terms and use only your own.

• 15 Interface Languages
Use the app in English, Chinese (Simplified or Traditional), Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Russian or Arabic (right-to-left). The bundled glossary is in English.

• Daily Word Reminder
Optional daily notification featuring a different silk term, at the time you choose.

All glossary content is bundled with the app, so lookups work without an internet connection. No account is needed.
