SOCRAT Dictionary

The Russian software developer, Arsenal Company, is releasing PDA versions of Kernerman Semi-Bilingual English Dictionaries as part of its SOCRAT machine translation system.

Arsenal has developed a special compression algorithm to deal with the large volume of data in the dictionaries. While the initial lexical structure of the dictionaries was preserved, special attention was granted to assure good readability on small screens. Font formatting and styling, coloring, and other tips and tricks were used to accomplish this task.

The working area is divided to three logical parts: Word-list, Word Article, and Settings. The navigation is implemented using Windows classic tabs. Words can be entered either via the keyboard or by handwriting recognition. It is possible to connect directly from another application by copying a word to the clipboard and clicking the SOCRAT icon.
