Гэтая праграма — афіцыйны кліент сайта Skarnik.by. 1. Руска-беларускі слоўнік змяшчае больш за 100 тысяч слоў. За аснову ўзяты акадэмічны слоўнік пад рэдакцыяй Я. Коласа, К. Крапівы і П. Глебкі. 2. Беларуска-рускі слоўнік таксама змяшчае больш за 100 тысяч слоў. Гэта «адваротны» слоўнік ад руска-беларускага. 3. Тлумачальны слоўнік беларускай мовы змяшчае больш за 95 тысяч слоў. Створаны на аснове акадэмічнага выдання пад рэдакцыяй К. Крапівы — пяцітомніка 1977-1984 гг. Асноўныя магчымасці: • Хуткі пошук слоў — працуе нават без інтэрнэту дзякуючы поўнаму афлайн доступу да слоўнікаў • Пастаноўка націску для беларускіх слоў • Захаванне слоў у абраныя і гісторыя пошуку • Абмен словамі праз спасылкі Скарнік дапрацаваны з улікам сучаснай практыкі і ўвесь час абнаўляецца (дадаюцца новыя словы, выпраўляюцца памылкі, недакладнасці і г. д.). Дзякуем усім за водгукі і прапановы.
