.SH NAME
kdict
\- The TDE Dictionary Client
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBkdict\fP [Qt\-options] [TDE\-options] [options] [word/phrase]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBKDict\fP is a graphical client for the \fBDICT Protocol\fP. It enables you to search through dictionary databases for a word or phrase, then displays suitable definitions. \fBKDict\fP tries to ease basic as well as advanced queries. A separate list offers a convenient way to deal with the enormous number of matching words that a advanced query can return.
.sp 1
The remainder of \fBKDict\fP's user interface resembles a web browser. For instance, you can jump to the definition of a synonym by simply clicking on the highlighted word. The back/forward functionality is also implemented, enabling you to quickly go back to the result of previous queries.
.sp 1
\fBKDict\fP is able to process the content of the clipboard, so it's easy to combine \fBKDict\fP with your web browser or text editor.
.sp 1
If your machine is behind a firewall, has no permanent internet connection or the server of dict.org is too slow for you, you can set up your own local server, all you need is available at \fBwww.dict.org\fP. The advantages of a local server are optimal performance and the ability to install additional databases of your choice.
