LiveDictionary for Safari

If you are the type who is running over to Dictionary.com to figure out what the writer of some website is talking about, LiveDictionary is going to be your new favorite app.


livedictionaryLiveDictionary is a Safari extension that adds fast, convenient dictionary lookups to the web. Once installed, it becomes a transparent part of Safari. LiveDictionary offers a wide array of dictionaries for technical terms, general language, and bilingual usage.

To use LiveDictionary, point your mouse cursor to the word you want to look up. By default, that word’s dictionary entry will appear automatically after a short delay, if the word has an entry in the dictionary. LiveDictionary can also be configured to show the popup when holding down a modifier key, or when pressing a custom key combination.

Tip of the Day

Use Spotlight as a reference tool. Type any word in the Spotlight box and one of the top entries will be a definition. Click on it, and it will bring up the dictionary application to check the word in either the dictionary, thesaurus, Apple database, or Wikipedia.
