Every dictionary, another ear.
Listen to the word as each source hears it.
Return to the words you marked without leaving the current lookup.
Switch between Youdao, StarDict, and local MDict in one lookup.
The dictionaries you collected still have a place to live.
Bring the files you already trust into aDict, then read them in the flow of your day. Their structure, resources, and familiar rhythm stay close, while history and favorites remember where each word came from.
Bring the dictionaries you already chose.
Drop in your MDX and MDD pairs, sidecar CSS, or StarDict dictionaries. aDict reads them as files, not as imports into a closed library.
Read them in their own shape.
Definitions can keep the hierarchy, links, sidecar styling, and resources that made the original dictionary worth keeping.
Miss the exact word, stay in the flow.
Suggestions and close-match lookup help you land on the right entry without turning every typo into a dead end.
Come back to the same source later.
History and favorites remember the word with its dictionary, so returning to a saved lookup means returning to the source you trusted.
