A downloadable tool for Windows

Master Your Vocabulary with Offline Dictionary

Tired of losing your language notes in messy notebooks? Offline Dictionary is a high-performance, standalone desktop application designed for serious language learners. Whether you are studying Japanese or any other language, this tool helps you build a structured, searchable, and intelligent lexicon that lives entirely on your computer.

Why choose this tool?
  • Smart Synonym Detection: Unlike basic lists, this app detects if a word already exists and offers to add new meanings as synonyms instead of creating duplicates.
  • Japanese-Ready: Built-in Japanese soft keyboard, Hepburn support, and a dedicated Kanji workspace with JLPT metadata.
  • Powerful Search: Use advanced filters (including Regex) to find any word in a split second.
  • Privacy First: Your database is stored locally. No cloud, no tracking, no internet required.
  • Safety Nets: Automatic ZIP backups every 30 minutes to ensure your years of study never vanish.
Features at a Glance:
  • Adaptive Study Modes: Timed quizzes and flashcards with streak-based scoring.
  • Full Customization: Light/Dark themes, custom font overrides, and editable keyboard shortcuts.
  • Export/Import: Take your data with you in CSV, JSON, or professional PDF formats.
  • Profiles: Support for multiple learners or different language sets on the same device.
Quick Installation Guide:
  1. Download the .zip file below.
  2. Simply run it!
  3. Note: Windows may show a "SmartScreen" warning because the app is from an independent developer. Click "More info" and "Run anyway" to start.

Install instructions

Quick Start (For Windows Users)

If you downloaded the .exe version, you don't need to install Python!

1. Download and extract the Offline_Dictionary_2_1.zip.

2. Run Offline_Dictionary.exe.

3. Note: If Windows SmartScreen appears, click "More info" and then "Run anyway".

For Developers / Running from Source

If you prefer to run the script manually or contribute to the project:

System Requirements:

- Python 3.10 or newer.

- Optional: gTTS (for audio), playsound (for playback), reportlab (for PDF export).

Setup & Running

Bash
# Install dependencies
pip install gTTS playsound reportlab
# Run the application
python dictionary_app_045.py
## Running the App
```bash
python dictionary_app_045.py
```

The first launch creates `dictionary.db`, `settings.json`, and the backup folder inside the resolved app directory. Profiles can point to alternate databases if you want separate study sets.
