How to obtain dictionaries
For usage, you can grab any stardict dictionary and unpack them in MyDocs/mstardict/. There are many sources to grab such dictionaries from, buZz setup a mirror thats linked below for a big pile of free dictionaries.
How to use it
Launch the program, make sure to enable a dictionary and just type a query.
There's also espeak (and a different one thats just >20000 .wav files??) TTS for reading out the entrynames.
