Noah aims to be the best dictionary in the Universe. We're not there yet. There are
many "translating" dictionaries for PalmPilot. They usually contain a few thousand words
with very simple descriptions. We're different. Noah focuses on providing the biggest
dictionary possible, hopefully comparable to unabridged edition of an english dictionary.
Here are our claims to fame as of today:
- Noah is free software
released under GNU General Public License.
- PalmPilot reader (requires PalmOS 3.0 or higher)
- The biggest dictionary available on any PDA platform. Database comes
from WordNet 1.6 project and
contains comprehensive definitions of 122 thousand words
- 4 dictionaries of different size to match needs of different users
- Highly compressed (> 40%) data to save memory
