Thunderbird add-on for the easy lookup of word definitions from the internet.
If you're looking for a user-friendly way to search for word definitions while browsing the web, then the Dict project Mozilla extension might be the solution for you. With this handy tool, you can easily access online definitions by selecting any word on a web page and then simply right-clicking to reveal a menu option that lets you quickly define the word.
This extension is essentially an implementation of a DICT protocol client, which is defined in RFC 2229. By default, Dict queries the DICT server on dict.org for definitions, but it can be easily configured to work with any DICT server of your choice.
One of the best things about this extension is that it opens up a new window to display the word definitions, which makes it easy to compare and contrast different meanings of a word without losing your place on the original webpage.
The Dict project is an ideal tool for anyone who frequently reads online content and needs a quick and easy way to search for word definitions without interrupting their flow. So why not give it a try and see how much more enjoyable your online reading experience can become?
