Terminal Google Dictionary (online)

Too Geeky(Lazy) to go (google/bing) meaning of the word?

Well, then this is the perfect script for you!

Example :

How to use?

There are two seperate branches for Linux and Windows

For Windows :

Installing for Windows is described here.

For Linux :

Download or clone this repository (https://github.com/rahulnegi20/tdict.git) and then check requirements.txt, I have mentioned the procedure with steps.

Just type the word and get the meaning of the word in your terminal. You can search for synonyms and examples too!

Basic Requirements :

• python3
• urllib
• yachalks

In order to run the script from terminal (anylocation)

you need to provide path to tdict in your .bashrc file which is hidden by default, (Ctrl + H) to unhide the hidden files or vice-versa. now you need to edit that .bashrc file using any text editor and add this line on top

PATH="$PATH:<path-to-dict-folder>" for example , in my case it is
(/home/rahulnegi/projects/scripts/dict).

Development :

This script uses unofficial Google-Dictionary api (https://github.com/meetDeveloper/googleDictionaryAPI)
