weDict version 0.4.1

[DaveiPhone]

I have English-Spanish , Bovier law, and Web1913 installed (among others). Generally I want results from only 1 of those for a given word, but that doesn't mean that for a different word or situation I won't want one of the others.

eurisko why dont you try it first instead of spitting out nonsense. Common sense? People have multiple dictionaries for different purposes. Maybe I don't want my encyclopedia popping up when I want the drug information or maybe I'm looking up an element and I don't want the dictionaries version. The point is that people use these dictionaries and don't need every single "dict" files input for every single word they type. It depends on the situation, for me it depends on the class (I turn dictionaries off and on based on which class I am in). Some people dont like going through pages and pages of information to find the appropriate description that fits their needs at that moment. And all it takes is clicking the I button and tapping on a dictionary to check and uncheck.

Oh yea i have 12 dictionaries I frequently use.

Wanna ask is the pronounce button working for u guys?

[DaveiPhone]

Its working fine here, though as laoren mentioned, it's quite large. Naturally the vocabulary is somewhat limited, but it's a pretty cool addition. To check whether it's working, just enter a word that you can see inside one of the WyabdcRealPeopleTTS folders.

[kurosagi]

yeah, the user selectable dictionary preference screen was much needed. i had various multi-lingual dictionaries installed and having to dig thru all the entries at times was tiresome.

Personal attacks will get you nowhere fast. I said in my last post to each his own, so leave it at that. And fyi I did try it first, and the i button to enter the prefs is poorly designed so it takes several attempts just to get into it, and is therefore a waste of time in my opinion. I'll stick with the original, and you can keep your derogatory comments to yourself.

There is a link provided earlier in this thread so you can download the pronunciations library, but be warned, it's around 200MB. This is because it's simply a bunch of .wav files which correspond with the words you enter. I'm going to crunch it tonight into .aac files and see how much smaller this makes it.

[TheHK]

yeah from productivity. It keeps giving me error package download failed. If you post that app i would appreciate it. Im famialiar with ssh, since I use it all the time. Just let me know where exactly to install the files. And i can do the rest.

Thanks

Sorry I haven't been here for a while, this version is stable if you still need it

Oh...GOOD idea. Let us know how you make out with that please.

I could sure use an English-Italian and Italian-English dictionary. None on installer yet, but perhaps there is another source that somebody knows about?

i donno if this feature is in the new version but i would definitely like to see a word suggestion bank. i mean sometimes i donno how to spell the word i want to use or i need the definition but dont know how to the spell the word itself. its not in the old version and its something that should be included dont you guys think?

It's called "Fuzzy Logic". Google and many other search engines use it, like if you spell "Aplle" it'll say "Did you mean Apple?". I'd love to see this too, it's not very hard to incorporate.

Where can I get the English-Spanish dictionary for weDict?
This is one of the few things I'm still using my Palm for and wish to have on the iPhone.

Thank, worked great installing English-Spanish.

[Eurisko]

By the by.. still crunching. Seems it takes a little longer to convert 21015 words than I thought. Soon though.

Hey, I'm a bit curious how you got that to work. I downloaded the English-Italian dictionary, unzipped it, and found 3 files: a .idx file, a .dz file, and a .ifo file. I put those files in my /var/root/Library/weDict folder on my iphone, restarted my iphone, and it didn't show up on my list of dictionaries. After taking a closer look at the rest of the dictionaries already installed and working on my iPhone for weDict and installed in that same directory on my iPhone, I noticed that all the other dictionaries have 3 files, but with different extensions: .idx, .idxc, and .dict. The English-Italian dictionary had neither an .idxc or a .dict extension file. I also downloaded and looked at some other dictionaries to see what file names they had in them, i.e. English-French, and they also had only the .idx, .dz, and .info files with no .dict or .idxc files.

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance,

Sponge

Manually downloaded dictionaries need to be extracted. Then rename the following *.dict.dz to *.dict.gz. Then extract again and upload via sftp the resulting two *.dict and *.idx files. The third file is generated by your iPhone once you use the dictionary.

Hehe..no problem, Eurisko. I'm good for now as far as storage space on my iPhone goes. I did the mod for moving my applications into the area where the music and other stuff is stored instead of the system area, so I've got about 4GB of space left; which is a good thing as I've got well over 600MB of application files installed so far..haha

EXCELLENT! Worked like a charm. Thanks kurosagi

Yes, Eurisko! I definately want. I have a feeling I'm eventually going to need all the free space I can find

Thanks for your effort
