To view the translation select the word, and invoke the Resident using one of the methods described in the section "Resident options" in the SlovoEd dictionary menu.

The Resident window will appear in the bottom of the screen. If the word you are looking for is present in the dictionary, you will see its translation. Otherwise, the words that are close to this word in the dictionary list or its base form from Morphology Module will be shown.

Learning tools

Irregular verbs table

A table of irregular verbs with several sorting options is available in English dictionaries. Knowing only one form of the verb you will be able to find the others quickly. Several sorting possibilities will help to find the verb form you need.

Word of the Day

Word of the Day is another word-learning option of the program. Each day a word is chosen at random from the dictionary and shown on the start of the program. Word of the Day gives you an opportunity to learn a new word each day without having to select it from the dictionary wordlist.

Flash Cards Quiz

Flash Cards Quiz enables you to add new words to flash cards and pass a quiz on them. You can pass a quiz as many times as you wish. On the basis of statistics the program will decide what words you have learned. The more you give the right translation of the certain word, the less you will be asked to translate this word.

Dictionary editor

You can modify the dictionary databases of the SlovoEd program by adding new entries or editing the existing entries with the build-in dictionary editor. All you need is to select “Add/Edit entry” option in the dictionary menu. The procedure of adding an entry is similar to the procedure of editing an entry. The only difference is that when you add a new entry you will be prompted to type in the entry title before you proceed to the window where you can edit the text of the entry.

In order to create your personal word data base and use it with other SlovoEd dictionaries you can use our special utility SlovoEd Studio .
