going to try it

Re: [Announce] ReferIt : Online Dictionary app for N9 with audio pronunciation
 

Basic but works...nice to have audio pronunciation. Looks like it keeps some sort of history...will be nicer if it can store the pronunciation as well ;)

BTW great effort considering your first app!

N900 likes QML apps as well ,would be great to have a port of this application .looks clean and UI is almost kinda great . thanks in adv.

Re: [Announce] ReferIt : Online Dictionary app for N9 with audio pronunciation
 

is there a webpage where i can get a getting started sort of thing for N900
i don't have N900 or access to it so can i port it with qtcreator

Re: [Announce] ReferIt : Online Dictionary app for N9 with audio pronunciation
 

i will publish the code and once the parsing is complete. currently it lacks few things. Like if you will search harbour, it will not show anything. Also it should show diagram or image if available. Like in case of searching heart
I also intend to add thesaurus it in.

http://wiki.maemo.org/QML ?

and maybe other wiki's not generally about qml. But it can be outdated.

thanks for the app, and I entered some chinese character and it returned a corresponding word in english (mostly sort of correct), kinda fun :)

Re: [Announce] ReferIt : Online Dictionary app for N9 with audio pronunciation
 

Everything is working great! Thanks for updating.

Re: [Announce] ReferIt : Online Dictionary app for N9 with audio pronunciation
 

Can this be used offline

EDIT: My bad for not reading the TITLE xD
I have just made a fool out of myself.

"ReferIt : Online Dictionary app for N9 with audio pronunciation"

hmm.. that's a difficult one. Gosh, I hope the OP can help here!

Re: [Announce] ReferIt : Online Dictionary app for N9 with audio pronunciation
 

I just tested, and it appears to be online only. It gave me a session error when I attempted to use it offline.

Re: [Announce] ReferIt : Online Dictionary app for N9 with audio pronunciation
 

Sry for not replying earlier!
No, it can not be used offline. Though it has some history stored. I don't want to store too much history and get into trouble as already Merriam Webster is asking $100/month for 1000 requests per day for commercial use, dunno what will they do on using their db like that. So enjoy whatever it has got :)

Re: [Announce] ReferIt : Online Dictionary app for N9 with audio pronunciation
 

Btw, app its available on Nokia store now http://store.Nokia.com/content/338644
Thanks Shwstppr for all your help and flopjoke for that amazing app icon!

Re: [Announce] ReferIt : Online Dictionary app for N9 with audio pronunciation
 

Two things I've noticed: while the app supports landscape, the splash-screen is portrait only. Harmattan allows for both.

Somewhat more substantial: when searching for "tree " (with trailing space) it says "no results found". It does list "tree" as first alternative though. Searching for "tree." (with accidental trailing period) lists the same alternatives, but all with the trailing period - which in turn yields to the same "no results"...

Alas, trimming the search input would be welcome.
