Offline dictionary with open formats

Totally offline performant dictionary, with prefix fuzzy autocompleting search, live, and clipboard watching.

• Linux only, currently

• A format I camp up with deliberately when cleaning up some dictionary files
  • API server
  • REPL
  • GUI (tauri)

I personally have some Chinese-English dictionary source files. I cleaned up the data into open formats, and this program is specifically for that.

API:

• 127.0.0.1:3030/q/some_word_to_lookup
• /stat/

Then build the index offdict build

apt install libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev # required for building clipboard-master

Usage

• Input anywhere to start live search.
• Copy anything and it would pop up.
• Press ⬅️ or ➡️ for scrolling
• Tap Enter to perform an extensive & expensive search
• It loads config.json5 in the working directory.
• To import dictionaries
  1. Just grab a data folder from somewhere (might have vulnerability)
  2. Import with offdict yaml -p '<wildcard for files>.yaml' -s (works for both CLI and GUI binaries)

notes

• faster fuzzy autocompletion algorithm. https://github.com/qinbill/IncNgTrie ?
