Hi myself11,

Maybe setup a smaller font size in BVocabulary(setup->other setting->font size) could help as workaround for now.

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.

Bombenbach · Jan 26, 2010

Well, than it's probably another issue with WM 6.5, as in my case it doesn't work on WM 6.5

I've tried that already

Didn't solve the problem, unfortunately.

What is strange is that one or two times, after I changed a setting, a scroll bar appeared, but it allowed to scroll just a little bit.

Is it very different to develop an app for WM 6.1 and 6.5 (noob question), or this issue isn't related to that, but with a bug with WM 6.5?

Keep up the good work! I eagerly await for a bug free Bvocabulary for WM 6.5, because I really like this app.

I agree with that. After all BVocabulary is the only WinMo dictionary app that can understand StarDict. Thus, Boki's work is a great gift to the whole WinMo-community

Cannot load Stardict-Xiangya-Medical Dictionary 湘雅医学专业词典

Thanks for making this application! It works reasonably well with all the dictionaries I tried, except the Xiangya-Medical-Dictionary.

I notice that BDictionary puts out the error message saying somthing like that it can't handle 250,000 words 25万字（please excuse my Chinese, I am still learning!).

Looking forward to an update which can handle the Xiangya-Medical dictionary!

In my installation, oxford-gb also has some 'strange' empty-box characters. However, this dictionary is useable, at least for English speakers.

Cheerio, David.

hi bokiteam, is this application installed in my device. it seems like i couldnt find this program under remove program list...any way i could uninstall it if i would like to do so

bokiteam · Feb 19, 2010

Hello Msia,

We don't need to uninstall this application.

Just simply delete the BVocabulary.exe and BVocabulary.dll

Boki.

Hi DavidFong,

Please try to download another phonetic font supported by MDict:
http://www.octopus-studio.com/ksphonetic.ttf

Please also install this font to Windows\Font as 'Lucida Sans Unicode'.

In default setting:

oxford-gb will use Lucida Sans Unicode.
oxford-big5 will use Kingsoft phonetic Plain (ksphonetic.ttf)

FYI.

Cheers,
BR,
Boki.

For when a new release?

Bombenbach · Mar 21, 2010

Hi Boiteam,

BVocabulary vivid tells me : "Sorry, this version will expire after 12 days". What does it mean? Is BVocabulary vivid a trial?

bokiteam · Mar 26, 2010

[App] Multi-Language Dictionary - BVocabulary

Yes, vivid version is a trail for about 6 months since release.

I have no idea should I update a version to extend trail or convert to product yet.

if any problem in vivid version, please use standard 2.31 version, it is free and no limitation.

Boki.

Sorry, the income/donation is hard for me to dedicate it for now.

The title of this thread says it's a free app, but in fact it's a commercial app -- you really should change that and be honest about it.

bokiteam · Mar 27, 2010

Hi

BVocabulary is not commercial app, but I accept donation, and looking into the donation total, I decided to pause the development of VIVID version ( branch of BVocabulary Standard ), therefore, even me don't have an official version for sale.

However, BVocabulary Standard is still FREE, everybody could download and use it for FREE still.

Hi bokiteam,

any news concerning BVocabularay Vivid?

The standard version is nice but since it doesn't support tags, it's quite useless for me because all my dicts have tags.

On the other hand, at the moment there is actually no way to use Vivid since one can't buy it (because it's not a commercial app as you've said) but also can't really use it as a freeware (because of the time limitation).

If you want to earn money with your software you might consider making Vivid a commercial app. Alternatively, if you want Vivid to be a donationware, you could release a version without any limitations but add new features only after a certain amount of donations has been collected.

Of course it's up to you to decide, but at least it would be nice to know your plans.

Hi Bombenbach,

According to your reply. I will release a free version of BVocabulary Vivid.

Target date is 4July2010, Sunday ( that means I work at home on free time

)

and thank you for analysis.

Boki.

Hi people, I have read all the 4 pages of this thread, but I was unable to find what languages does this support.

I didn't try it yet, because it was different while I was using it.
However, I think it also works.

That's great news and thanks for your commitment. Is it a new version? Are you developing it for WinMo 6.5.1 or 6.5.3?

P.S.: donate ppl!

bokiteam · Jul 3, 2010

Hi All,

I uploaded the unlimited version of BVocabulary VIVID in first post. FYI.
