An Open-Source Dictionary App with Great Versatility

StarDict is a free, cross-platform dictionary app. This international dictionary software has quite a few powerful features under its sleeve, such as ‘scan selection word’ and ‘glob-style pattern matching’. StarDict is basically open-source, which means there are 1000+ dictionaries that support this program. The FreeDict dictionaries that could be converted to StarDict format include some older variants of Webster’s dictionary, along with several dictionaries from other different languages. Moreover, StarDict offers built-in search capabilities and the ability to add lexicons in different languages.

User reviews about StarDict

by John Pilge

It can still work, but I consider it obsolete software.. Good idea, has a good interface. DIFFICULT to install. Uses an uncommon compression. (.rar), and the dictionaries have to be loaded separately.They are no longer available. Online dictionaries have changed format, but still usable. Pros: The interface. Cons: Dictionaries are missing.Online lookup need re-writing.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
