jDictionary
It’s been years since I blew the dust off of my dictionary; God bless the internet. You can get more information in a fraction of the time. Instant gratification is a wonderful thing. The program that I’m reviewing, jDictionary, now makes ‘instant’ even faster.
No more web browsers. This open source program is a stand alone application. Not that opening Firefox or Internet Explorer is all that difficult, but hey, one of the first rules of good consumerism is that you should cut out the middle man whenever possible. jDictionary allows you to load multiple dictionary plugins, allowing you a variety of results. Conversion dictionaries are available, as are stand alone foreign language dictionaries, thesaurus plugins, just about anything to do with words. Plus, with it being open source, new additions should be added to the library of information on a regular basis.
My hope is that jDictionary will make your experience here at Consumer’s Corner a more enjoyable one. A great dictionary is a writer’s best friend, so hopefully this will help the quality of the content you read here. My vocabulary could use some expanding, and jDictionary is just what the doctor ordered. It’s super simple to use, very efficient and effective, and completely free! It will be getting a great deal of use; I recommend it! Available for Windows and Linux.
