KZod

KZod is a software program containing a large dictionary database in multiple languages, that can be improved with new user-defined records.

During the installation procedure you can select the components to be included into the program files.

KZod offers support for multiple languages, including English, Lithuanian, German, Russian, Polish, French and Italian, as well as for online dictionaries.

It contains Lithuanian and world history dates, PC and geographical terms, countries, maxims, names, measures and known people.

The interface of the application is represented by a small window with a well-organized frame. KZod doesn't strive in the visual department of the GUI, but we must take into account that it has not been updated for a very long time.

You can look up words in a list or use a search function, in order to read the description. The aforementioned components can be selected from the Dictionary menu, along with the DICT protocol for online databases.

It is possible to create new groups and records, create, import or remove a dictionary, look up terms by word, date, description or pattern, as well as change the font or enable a tool for Clipboard live-monitoring.

Other options of KZod let you make the frame stay on top of other windows, build a quick-access button into Internet Explorer, display and use an on-screen virtual keyboard, select the encoding method, view add-ins properties, and switch to another skin for the UI.

The program uses a very low quantity of CPU and system memory. Its response time is not very good but we haven't come across any issues in our evaluation, since the tool did not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. Thanks to its intuitive layout yet multitude of settings, KZod should satisfy the entire audience.
