OSS-Dict is an offline Android dictionary reader based on Aard 2, featuring a modern Material Design 3 interface. It allows users to load and search dictionary collections stored directly on their devices. Supported formats include SLOB, MDict, StarDict, and ABBYY Lingvo DSL. Searches ignore capitalization, punctuation, and diacritical differences to improve word discovery. Users can bookmark articles, organize them into folders, and attach personal notes. Browsing history preserves recently viewed entries for convenient reference. Additional reading features include mathematical formula rendering, custom stylesheets, and fullscreen viewing. External applications can initiate dictionary searches through Android sharing integration. Dictionary files are imported separately, and core lookup functionality works without an internet connection.
