One of coolest featuers in Google is the ability to find the definition of a word using the “define:” prefix. The advantage of the Google dictionary is that it also lists the definitions that are not official and “approved by oxford” – the kind of words that a publisher of a dead-wood dictionary will not add it its book.

Just because it isn’t on the dictionary doesn’t mean the word doesn’t exist right? That’s why I created this tool. You can get the definition of any word on the desktop. Perfect for finding up and coming fads and lingo.

Gefine dictionary viewer is available for Windows and Linux.

In the next version, I will be adding Urban Dictionary support and possibly automatic word completion.
