Does anyone know of a good Dictionary app with thesaurus and wildcard search for solving crosswords etc?
I've been using SlovoEd for some time but for whatever reason, when it's installed on 5th Edition the wildcard search is no longer available. The software company have told me that they may fix it at some point but it's not a priority for them.
I too am looking for a good dictionary-thesaurus.
On my Nokia 9300, after a long evaluation of about 16 different dictionaries I chose the AED (Advanced English Dictionary) based on the WordNet data collection at Princeton.
So far the built-in dictionary is a "light" version and doesn't have most of the words that I need to look up (I read a lot of material that causes me to have to look up the words that I don't know).
My current strategy is writing to the company that I bought the previous version from and asking them to develop a version for the N97.
Barring that, I might look for some open-source software and pull-down a copy of the WordNet data myself.
Snaptu has a nice little dictionary built into it. Worth a look.
I'm not looking for a "little" dictionary...the one that came with the phone is too little as it is.
What I want is like an OED or WordNet....35,000+ words.
An update: I downloaded the jdictionary-mobile MIDP2 Java version for evaluation. It runs very poorly on the N97 as it doesn't integrate with the touchscreen interface (in portrait mode it wants to use the S60 3rd edition emulated pad which takes up a good portion of the display). I've written to them about it and asked to be notified if they intend to produce a 5th edition version.
