1.0.5
AALookup's own learner's dictionary, and online dictionaries in the lookup panel
Added
- AALookup Learner's English is in Search & download: a dictionary written for learners, with plain English definitions and Chinese glosses for every sense, examples, collocations, idioms and phrasal verbs, inflections and common mistakes. It answers from aalookup.com for a signed-in account, completes words in the search box, and grows every day as new words are added on the server.
- macOS A small spinner appears beside the pointer from the moment a lookup starts until the panel is on screen.
Fixed
- An online dictionary with nothing for a word no longer shows an empty row, so a word every dictionary misses shows the no-entry state again; and an online dictionary removed from the collection can be downloaded again from the catalog instead of being reported as already installed.
- macOS A pointer lookup in Chromium-based apps such as Claude Desktop no longer returns a word from elsewhere on the page: an accessibility answer the app cannot place under the pointer now waits for OCR to read the same pixels, and the OCR word wins when it sits under the pointer and reads differently. The pixel check at gesture time, which had silently never run, now does.
Changed
- Online dictionaries stand beside local ones in the lookup panel: each installed online dictionary is a column of the switcher in your collection's order, asked at the same time as the local scan. One that has not answered within a moment yields to the first ready dictionary and takes its place when it arrives.
