Msdict Concise Oxford English Dictionary V 2.12 -java- [updated] Site

At the time of its release, v2.12 competed against three primary alternatives: SlovoEd (from Paragon Software), Mobipocket’s dictionary reader, and the built-in dictionaries on Nokia’s S60 devices. SlovoEd offered a similar Oxford license but with a slower interface. Mobipocket required converting proprietary formats and was less intuitive. Nokia’s native dictionaries were fast but limited to 20,000 words. Thus, MSDict v2.12 occupied a unique niche: it provided the best balance of authoritativeness, size, and speed. The killer feature was the “Word of the Day” widget (where supported by the handset’s UI), which integrated with the phone’s idle screen—a primitive but effective form of spaced repetition learning.

: To combat the difficulty of typing on numeric keypads, version 2.12 included dynamic search (autocomplete) that predicted words as you typed. It also featured "fuzzy" filters for misspelled words and wildcard searches. MSDict Concise Oxford English Dictionary v 2.12 -JAVA-
