Mac English learning Slag app which is good

Believe that everyone, whether out of work, study or life needs, more or less will use an electronic dictionary.

Mac on the dictionary app is not many, by NetEase produced Youdao dictionary must be domestic users relatively familiar with the choice. It is possible that your mobile phone is already loaded with its mobile version.

Recently, a long time no movement of Youdao dictionary MAC version finally released the 2.0 version. To take this opportunity, APPSO to introduce you to the new version of how the performance.

A new interface

On the MAC version of the Dictionary 2.0 of the most intuitive feeling, naturally fell on the interface. Compared to the 1.0 version of the old interface, 2.0 finally for Yosemite and after the OS X made a new design-apart from the overall flat, color also become familiar with the "NetEase Red."

In addition to the original search words, examples, encyclopedia and translation module, the new version also added the word and the function of the cloud synchronization.

The convenient function of Word search

Most people keep an electronic dictionary, and most of the use of the scene should be "search words." The function of "take word" and "delimit word" can almost be said to be standard of electronic dictionary, Youdao dictionary does not fall naturally in this aspect.

Let's briefly introduce these two features:

Word: When our mouse hovers over a word, the dictionary automatically recognizes the word and searches for the meaning.

The mouse clicks and selects the word, the dictionary automatically recognizes the word and searches for the meaning.

It should be noted that the two features need to be licensed in "System Preferences"-"Security and privacy".

During the testing process, we found that the word-taking function does not apply to each app, but the term can be used normally. For example, the same article, in Chrome to use Plug-ins to automatically pick words, but in Safari can be normal to pick words and strokes. In addition to Chrome, Apple's own preview, Pages, Keynote, Numbers and Office software are all the same, but they can be translated by the word.

In fact, these two functions are complementary in most cases. For example, when browsing the Web, if you want to translate the word has hyperlinks, or like Medium such a site has annotation function, the word will be easy to draw words. In other scenarios, such as when presenting to a colleague, it is a distraction if there is always a translation window.

You can in Youdao Dictionary main interface of the lower right corner to quickly turn off the "take word" and "the word", or set them to take the word hotkey and switch shortcut keys.

In addition, you can use the shortcut key option + Z to call the "Quick Search word" function, or OPTION + COMMAND + X to call the main window of the Youdao dictionary.

Multi-lingual, multidimensional search results

Youdao Dictionary to support English, Japanese, Korean, French and Chinese translation between. Unlike other similar applications, in the "Youdao search" under the blessing, Youdao Dictionary gives a lot of results.

In English as an example, not only the explanation from the two authoritative dictionaries of the English-Chinese Dictionary of Collins and the 21st century great English-Chinese dictionaries, but also the interpretation from the Internet, phrases and phrases, synonyms, root words, examples and Wikipedia/Baidu encyclopedia materials.

Believe that such a rich dimension is enough to cover most users of the use of the scene, the results of the search is more grounded, interpretation can keep up with the public use of contextual changes. However, unfortunately, the current Youdao dictionary does not support the addition of Third-party dictionaries.

In addition Youdao dictionary also comes with a simple "translation function" to support the automatic identification of Anglo-French and Korean Russian West 6 foreign languages, but because it is the result of machine translation, we recommend careful reference.

From new words to words, from computers to mobile phones

There is a new word called "Check also can not remember", there is a back word called "only remember the first word abandon". "

Youdao Dictionary 2.0 Mac version of the new words this feature, allows you to youdao the main window of the dictionary, Quick Word Search Results window, or real-time display translation results of the pop-up window, can be a key to the results of the collection into the word.

The word book also comes with simple administrative functions, such as custom grouping and sorting by letter and time. In addition, in the "History" also recorded in your search for each word, in addition to the collection, you can also be a key to the collection or empty all the words.

Finally, it's also important: You can sync multiple platforms by logging into your account. Computer on the collection of words on the phone on the back, not fast?
