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.

About

Deckmere Flashcards

Features
Read full description

Deckmere is a flashcard app for your own study material. Bring it in from Anki, a spreadsheet or your notes, review it with FSRS spaced repetition, and check the answers you feel sure about. Buy once for the authoring tools. No subscription or account. BRING YOUR MATERIAL • Import Anki packages (.apkg and .colpkg, older and current exports) with formatting, tags, subdecks, images and audio. Basic, reversed and cloze notes come across; anything Deckmere cannot show is named before you import. • Keep your Anki progress or start fresh, your choice. Importing the same deck again updates what changed and keeps your own edits. • Import CSV or TSV files and pasted two-column lists, with a preview of the real cards before anything is saved. • Write cards yourself, or try the sample deck. • Every deck gets a picture that follows its name, or one you choose. REVIEW WITH FSRS • Today shows what is due, a short session of ten cards or a few minutes, and a clear rest when nothing is due. • Reveal the answer, then choose Again, Hard, Good or Easy and see each next interval before you choose. • Undo the last grade. Hear a side read aloud with your device's voices in the deck's language. CHECK WHAT YOU ARE SURE ABOUT • A self-check takes up to 10 cards: type an answer and choose your confidence before you see the card. • Mark your answers yourself and retry the mistakes, confident ones first. Your FSRS schedule is not changed. YOUR DATA, YOUR FILES • Back up everything to one file and restore it on your iPhone or iPad. Restoring only adds what is missing. • Export to Anki, or export card text as CSV or TSV. • Your library stays on your device and can sync between your Apple devices through your own iCloud. FREE, AND PRO ONCE • Free, with no cap and no time limit: cards and decks, review, the self-check, import, export and backup, and five generated cards a day. • Pro: add images, audio, cloze and image occlusion; make cards from PDF pages and photos; keep a saved mistake list and self-check history; plan toward a goal date; edit many cards at once; draft cards without a daily limit. • Card drafting runs on your device, with Apple's on-device model where available and a rules-based helper elsewhere. The screen says which one drafted. • One purchase, Family Sharing included. Restore Purchases restores it with the store account used to buy it; purchases on Apple and Google are separate.
