Alt spell application
By: rekha singh | 01 Jul 2010 11:41 am
I have been trying to find the application where you hold either the alt or ctrl key while clicking on a word and you get a dictionary definition. Can anyone help me find it?
CommentsWhat program are you asking about ? The spell, grammar and thesaurus are all in Word if you right click.

well I don't know if there is something like that but an alternative would be to use a program like Wordweb and then assign a shortcut key to that program.

No that is a web based program and I now think you meant Babylon, it free and I now recall you hold down the Ctrl key to use it http://dictionary.babylon.com/program/

I have Wordweb on my system and normally access it via the DT and the mouse but just assigned Alt + Ctrl + W and while this works, as normal it does minimize to the notification tray and needs to be double clicked from there and then a copy/paste of a word into the lookup field will give spellings, definitions, synonyms etc. Long time since I have Babylon available so I forget what it does. Hmm, did a googly and as I thought, Babylon is a translator so not sure if that is what you was wanting.

Babylon is a translator but it give that and a definition of the word and with it you just point at any word, anywhere, hold the Ctrl key down and right click to get a read out. It works on all platforms including Win7
