Pop-Up Dictionary

Despite the globalization process speeding up the spread of the English language in most corners of the world, many literature works remain untranslated to this day, thus requiring those interested in accessing their contents to start learning the author’s original language — an endeavor with an increased difficulty, depending on your line of work and amount of spare time left at the end of the day.

As such, one way to ease the studying process is by incorporating Pop-Up Dictionary, a tool capable of seamlessly retrieving the translation of your desired words and concepts without impacting the efficiency of your workflow. Once installed, users can leave it running in the background, summon it using its discrete system tray icon, or place it on top of other windows at all times for quick access.

While the premium version is no longer available for purchase, its free iteration maintains the most pivotal features and lets you download a plethora of dictionaries from the developer’s website for offline use whenever internet connectivity tends to be unstable. In terms of accessibility related settings, those with lower visual acuity have the opportunity to alter the font, its size and color for both original and translated elements.
