Web Dictionaries

Search any word with multiple online dictionaries or translation engines in one place—lightweight, zero dependencies.

Features

The extension is powerful and lightweight with no dependencies. It is built with the official Raycast API and utils.

Search across multiple online dictionaries and translation engines, currently including:

  • Google Translation
  • Urban Dictionary
  • Google Cloud Translation API (Google API key required)
  • Youdao API (Youdao Client ID and Youdao Secret required)

It provides the command Search from Cursor Selection to quickly look up your currently selected words. Feel free to bind a hotkey, such as double ⌘ cmd, for quick access.

View related definitions and example sentences when available. It also supports auto reverse (fallback) search, whenever the detected input matches the default language.

Access TTS (Text-to-Speech) for the following engines:

  • Google Translation
  • Youdao

As a bonus, you can configure this extension directly from the command line in an old-fashioned way!
