Alpus is a cool tool that lets you run queries in multiple dictionaries, even when you're offline. That's right! You can import ZIM or MediaWiki files and browse Wikipedia posts without needing the internet.
As soon as you install Alpus, it comes ready with downloads for the Computing Dictionary, WordNet, World Factbook, and the Moby Thesaurus. You can easily download these directly through the app. The utility will automatically set everything up for you and show how many entries are available.
If you have your own dictionaries, no worries! Alpus lets you import them by selecting an archive on your computer, using a direct URL, or just pasting the text. It’s compatible with StarDict, DSL, XDXF, ZIM, and MediaWiki files.
You can dive into each dictionary's details and even tweak their properties if needed. If a database isn’t working for your current profile, Alpus gives you the option to disable it or remove it completely.
The search tool in Alpus is pretty powerful! It handles diacritics and punctuation well and can even match results based on how words sound. Plus, you’ll see results from all resources at once and get more info about terms in pop-up windows.
Alpus isn't just about searching; it also has wildcard and fuzzy search options! You’ll find an in-page translator tool too. Plus, there’s history tracking and bookmarks to help keep your searches organized. Want to save your results? You can export them to a file with ease!
This app comes with some neat extras like a Text Viewer, Vocabulary Exerciser, and even an MP3 Player to enhance your experience!
In short, Alpus helps you create a huge database filled with different dictionaries as well as Wikipedia database dumps.
The menus are straightforward so you can find all configuration details easily. The interface stays clean but might feel a bit tricky until you get used to it.
