We generally keep our mobile phone with us.For communication in better way it is needed for all of us to have dictionary in the mobile phone which gives the meaning of the word.If we place the word into search mode then the meaning should be reflected into the mobile screen.This will be very usefull
in leisure.

Sorry Charlie - but there are Java based applications that do just this. [Jinbish, Jun 28 2006]

Badly written as it is, I think Charlie has
a
good idea here. Predictive text is
currently
the closest in-phone feature to this -
that I know of.
However, since a lot of new phones
have
html browsing capabilities, users can
simply choose to visit a dictionary
website
- or ask for a definition on a search
engine.
With a good layout and
simple
interface though, this could be
preferable
to either. |
|
| |
Good idea - baked though. |
|
| |
Also note you can text google to do this - and get it to translate into foreign languages as well. |
|
| |
Does the dictionary in that link actually
provide definitions or just translations?
Because there seems to me to be a
difference.
Besides, texting google
may be fine every now and then, but I
expect the texts are charged at the regular
rate? An in-phone program would be
particularly useful. |
|
| |
Yeah -the google thing does cost the price of a standard text. |
|
| |
It does both definition and translation (there's a syntax page somewhere - you prepend 't:' or 'd:' or something). |
|
| |
An on-phone would be work out cheaper and quicker if you were looking up items all the time; the google one's quite handy to look up a word now and then. |
|
| |
Or for pub quizzes probably. |

//Sorry Charlie - but there are Java based applications that do just this.// Not so fast there... I looked and looked and did not find a regular dictionary. These are for language translation. |

I disagree that this is baked. Seems simple enough, but I'm not convinced it's yet baked. (I realize that the oven is on, but that's just not the same.) |
|
| |
I'd use this if I had it. Someone will do this soon. |
|
| |
Ok - fair point [zigness], you're quite right. I just linked the first thing I found that looked reasonable - here's a better example (linky). |

Can we retrofit "Charlie's" HB account with spell & grammar check? |
|
| |
Interesting idea, this is.
Use it to text [UnaBubba] and others, I would. |
