Fast Yandex Dictionary

Probably everyone knows that Yandex has a wonderful free Yandex.Slovar service where you can see the translation of the word you need, but for me it’s not convenient because I constantly had to switch to Chrome, manually enter text or paste from the clipboard, even if you read the text in English in the same browser, constantly switching between tabs freezes.

Until recently, I used the ABBYY Lingvo dictionary
“To get a translation of any unfamiliar word, just move the mouse cursor over that word on the screen - in a letter, on a website page, picture, in a PDF file or even in subtitles - and get the most suitable translation in a pop-up window”
So it is written in their description on the site, from my own experience I can say that it is, it’s very convenient, minus the price, the English-Russian ABBYY dictionary for Windows costs 2390 rubles, there is also Babylon NG with the same context translation function and a bunch of dictionaries which costs twice as much.

There is free Lingoes , it doesn’t support all browsers, and it refuses to work in Windows 10 (at least for me).

Everyone knows that Yandex has the Yandex.Slovar service, but not everyone knows that there is also a Dictionary API for developers.

I kind of like a Delphi programmer, therefore, decided to write a dictionary with a context translation function like that of ABBYY Lingvo and Babylon NG, here the Yandex dictionary API came in handy.

This programming miracle looks like this, next to the translation in the browser, the translation directions are English-Russian, Russian-English.

To translate a word or phrase in any application, hold down Ctrl and hover over the word we are interested in, you can change the hot keys if you do not like Ctrl + hover over the default cursor.

If you constantly translate from only one language, for example, from English to Russian, set the direction of the translation in the menu, increase the speed and accuracy of text recognition.

Terms of use of the Yandex.Slovar API service prohibit saving the translation to disk, therefore a permanent connection to the Internet is required for the translation.

The program is absolutely free, runs on Windows 7, 8, 10, and tesseract ocr + OpenCV is used to recognize words under the mouse cursor.
