[APP] [27Sep09] Free Mult-Language Dictionary

Search This thread
Hi All,
I would like to introduce a muti-language dictionary and vocabulary learning aids application.

It's called BVocabulary.

Please watch the DEMO Video in youtube first :p
http://www.youtube.com/user/bokiteam

The latest DEMO video is for BVocabulary 1.9, however, you can download the version 2.0 in current thread.

I would like you to visit another thread to get more detail:
http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=en&js=n&u=http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php%3Ff%3D129%26t%3D918269%26r%3D2%26last%3D10862747&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&history_state0=

The major problem in beta are some popup messages not displayed in English yet ... however, I think it is not a big obstacle to use this software.
I didn't pack them to cab file, you could copy and then use it directly, this version are free to use/test until 2009/10/01. ( after deadline, it will disable some functions )

You can also download startdict dictionaries (http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dictionaries_dictd-www.dict.org.php) to customize your BVocabulary.

P.S
1. This based on .Net Compact Framework 3.5
2. You can not download anything from mobile01 site unless you are a member, however, just let me know anything you need, I will post it to XDA.

This is my first post in XDA, let me know if I do anything wrong.

Thanks!
Boki

With version vivid 2.2, there isn't a bar to scroll down and see all the info (and the data doesn't fit the screen - it would be necessary to scroll right also).

With version 2.31 (the last one), though I can scroll, a bug occurs with html dictionaries: they loose formatation (the instructions for alignment and colour and etc. are displayed).

Help

Hi bokiteam, I am new to this site. I would like to know how to install this dict to my wm mobile phone? just follow the steps below that u posted b4?


1. Download the dictionary from stardict website.
2. Uncompress the dictionary file, copy to your Windows Mobile device.
3. Run BVocabulary.exe , select File, External File, choose the dictionary you uncompressed then use it.


Can I have many dictionaries in stardict to be displayed at one time after installed? And if is possible for this dict to pronounce the words after following the installation step above? Thanks in advance!!:)
 
Hi

Yes, we only need the two files ( BVocabulary.exe and BVocabulary.dll ) then we can use this application.

We can find BVocabulary.dll in packages of old versions, or you could get it from http://www.pocketgear.com/en_US/html/display_product.jsp?id=prod7150551pg

Regarding the displaying multi-dictionaries at the same time, this is unsupported yet. ( if we want to get different result, we could manually switch different dictionary )

To install the pronunciation database, please download WyabdcRealPeopleTTS @ sourceforge.net
http://sourceforge.net/projects/stardict/files/WyabdcRealPeopleTTS/

then uncompressed the zip(tar.bz2) file, put the WyabdcRealPeopleTTS folder to the same directory as BVocabulary.exe

Verification:
Search "book" or "good" in BVocabulary, it should able to pronounce now.


Some more info:
Here is a link that provides a step by step introduction to install BVocabulary ( ex: install stardict dictionary, pronunciation, phonetic font ...etc ), however, it was in Chinese, I post a Google translation link as following:

http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http://b-cty.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!404D8E13BA49569C!3922.entry&sl=auto&tl=en

Hi bokiteam, I am having problem installing giving me this error message:

MissingMethodException
This application requires a newer version of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device.


can i know how to check the Net Compact Framework version in my mobile phone. I am using WM6.5:confused:
 
Hi

BVocabulary required .Net Compact Framework 3.5

The default in WM devices I guess .Net CF 2.0

We can check .Net CF version in 'Add/Remove program' ( if you installed it manually before )

Please try 3.5, I think it will work :)

Hi Bokiteam,

BVocabulary is really a great peace of software, thanks for coding! :cool:

The only nasty problem I've discovered so far, is that BVocabulary doesn't interpret some Stardict tags like <k>, </k>. It's basically the same problem as described here:
http://member.teesoft.info/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=294

It would be very nice if you could fix it in one of the next releases ;)

P.S. One more question? Can BVocabulary accept command line parameters? I mean, if you have many dictionaries and quickly want to access a certain one, it would be very convenient to create a shortcut like "BVocabulary.exe -DictA.ifo" So you could have a shortcut for each dictionary in your start menu like
Dict A - "BVocabulary.exe -DictA.ifo"
Dict B - "BVocabulary.exe -DictB.ifo"
Dict C - "BVocabulary.exe -DictC.ifo"

That would also be great.

Hi Bombenbach,

Please find below link for a newer version ( BVocabulary VIVID - v20090117 )

http://sites.google.com/site/bvocabulary2/BVocabularyViVid_20090117.zip

It can interpret the tags and photos :)

( To display photo, need to put the dict in root directory, ex: ( \Storage Card\AABBCC\AABBCC.ifo )


For shortcut to load different dict, here is a workaround:

Please find the hidden file in the same folder of BVocabulary.exe ( or BVocabularyViVid.exe )

BVocabulary.cfg ( this is a text file )

Modify the content to necessary dicts ...
ex:
\Storage Card\stardict-quick_eng-kor-2.4.2\EXAMPLE.ifo

then ....

create as many as folders to process them ... :p

Thank you for your idea, I will consider it.
BR,
Boki.

Does anyone have bvocabulary working flawlessly on HTC HD2?

In Vivid version I always have the same bug: the data doesn't autofit the screen and I can't scroll down and right properly.

:(

Well, actually I also can't see any scrollbars on my TP2, but at least I still can use the arrow buttons to scroll up or down. You may try to remap some buttons on your HD2 to up/down-buttons as I did on my TP2.

It would be nice if I could scroll with my fingers on the touchscreen like in Opera, Word or Outlook, but it seems that BVocabulary Vivid doesn't support that yet.
 
Hi

You *may* able to scroll screen by touch screen.

I just tested BVocabulary Standard 2.31 and BVocabulary Vivid 2.2 on HTC diamond (WM6.1), both can do touch scroll.

FYI :)
