DictSharp is a mobile English dictionary application that supports multiple English dictionaries. The following dictionaries are bundled with the DictSharp English Dictionary application. - English-Vietnamese Dictionary ( 11,0784 entries ) - Vietnamese English Dictionary ( 75,294 entries ) - English English Dictionary ( 157,521 entries ) The DictSharp English Dictionary application is a great mobile offline dictionary application for everyone. You can download this application onto your iPhone / iPad for free and set up your own favorite dictionaries or just use the bundled dictionaries. DictSharp will help you look up new words in many dictionaries, and explanations will help you learn new words effectively. The DictSharp English Dictionary application includes the following core features. ▶ DICTIONARY MANAGER The dictionary manager in the DictSharp Dictionary app provides the ability for users to download and install English dictionaries in stardict format on the fly. DictSharp supports many Stardict English dictionaries. It also allows users to delete or disable the dictionary volumes that they no longer need to save disk space and increase performance. To use your own Stardict dictionaries, you need to install dictionary files using one of the following methods. - Browse and select a zip file with the type .zip or .tar.bz2 that contains your Stardict files from the Files application on your mobile device to set up - Download and set up your own dictionaries by entering a URL string to a remote zip file (file type supported: .zip, .tar.bz2) that contains a stardict dictionary ▶ DICTIONARY LOOKUP / SEARCH The DictSharp Dictionary app uses its algorithm to effectively search for terms in multiple offline dictionaries concurrently and asynchronously. DictSharp provides the offline mode to allow users to search for terms without an Internet connection, and the search autocomplete allows users to filter word variants quickly by recommending predictions as they type. ▶ DICTIONARY DEFINITION VIEWER The DictSharp Dictionary app provides a friendly and consistent UI for users to view different definitions and meanings of a word or term found in many dictionaries. When users read definitions, they can touch another word to navigate to that word. The word definition viewer in DictSharp also allows users to go back and forward to the words that they have recently viewed. ▶ PRONUNCIATION / VOICE SPEECH The DictSharp Dictionary app uses Text-To-Speech (TTS) to pronounce words in US, UK, or AU voices by default. You can select a voice from the settings screen. Because TTS is a speech synthesis technology that converts text into spoken voice, it may differ from natural voices. Therefore, DictSharp provides an additional way in which you can download and install your own audio files from the settings screen. Currently, there are some limits to this functionality. It may not work correctly with all the voice formats and folder structures. ▶ VOCABULARY MANAGER The DictSharp Dictionary app provides a vocabulary manager that allows users to bookmark their favorite and recent words. It also includes a set of important words (IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC) for quick reference and learning. ▶ REMOVAL OF ADS The DictSharp Dictionary app provides the ability for users to use In-App Purchase to remove ads.
