Dictionary lookups from within Plucker? Yes, its true!

View this article as: [ xml / txt ]

With Plucker, you can read any news or web pages you want on your Palm, at any time, simply by downloading the news from the Internet or your local system, converting it with Plucker, and sending it to your Palm with our Plucker desktop software or your normal Palm tools.

Now you can easily access RoadLingua dictionaries directly from within Plucker - with a single stylus tap!

Special Offer
When invoked from Plucker, RoadLingua dictionary viewer always works in REGISTERED mode (without any feature limitations/nag screens). You have to download the latest development version of Plucker viewer to obtain this functionality. It will be included in future stable releases.

To Configure Plucker for RoadLingua Lookups

Inside Plucker, go to 'Menu → Options → Preferences'. Choose Lookup and set action as "Look up in RoadLingua". If you haven't checked the box for "Word lookup always active" you can set JogDial options for word lookup or go to 'Menu → Options → Set keyboard/graffiti' and define any keyboard or graffiti shortcut for "Lookup word" action.

Now being in text mode, switch to lookup mode (if it is not always on). You'll see that icon in the top right corner will change. Then tap a word you want to translate. If Lookup mode is always on, all you need is to tap a word.

For more details, visit the RoadLingua website and try it out for yourself!
