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.

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.
