OdictO

Regardless of whether you just moved to a new country, are learning a new language or simply want to check out the multiple meanings of a word, having a dictionary readily available can go a long way. OdictO is an offline dictionary that would work best for anyone who can’t or won’t use the Internet while working on a project.

Following a quick and uneventful installation, you are welcomed by a rather rugged interface that features a search box where you can enter your word. The program immediately provides you with most of the definitions of the query word, including some extra meaning.

You will be happy to learn that the results are displayed with details, including whether it is a noun, verb, adjective or adverb. Moreover, it includes a few examples on how to use the word in the sentence. A nice touch is that the tool sometimes offers suggestions of synonyms and antonyms.

On the downside, the dictionary is missing some words and phrases. However, it seems that  the database is being constantly extended. You may need to look online for certain words for now.

It would have been nice if the application included a feature that lets you view the search history so that you can go back on a previous query instead of having to type it again. On the other hand, this can also be considered good practice for those learning English.

OdictO can be a great tool for anyone who wants to focus on studying or finishing a project, but that gets easily distracted. Instead of hopping on the Internet and possibly entering other websites or checking social media, the offline dictionary provides you with the meaning of the desired English words conveniently.
