The best app for research and learning. It allows you to search words and phrases from as many places as you like, add them to your favs, make folders, get pronunciation, hotkeys, search menu, so good... And don't forget the wonderful scan popup that allows you to look up words in a popup no matter where you are on PC...

Fantastic work of being able to pull out existing dictionary files in the PC automatically. Even some of the dictionary program that is no longer under development. Now, I am getting a UI revamped version of the same dictionary program since database is reused and with support. Good job. About the Wikipedia sites link, it seems like it is not working well, same goes to Morphology and Websites. The audio function using Windows native API is not working either. I am on Windows 10 64bit. But overall, I am pleased with the application still. thanks.
