GoldWord
(program) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from goldword.com)

GoldWord is a on click translation and information source utility program. When a user clicks on text with the right mouse button or combination of the right mouse and another key, the GoldWord window appears with a translation and description of the clicked word. It is a tool used for translation and currency conversion, as well as for obtaining other contextual information. GoldWord has a patented OCR technology and a single-click activation that works in any Windows program, such as Word, Outlook, Excel, Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader (PDF documents). When activated, GoldWord opens a small popup window that displays the translation.

GoldWord includes built-in dictionaries (e.g., English-English, Hebrew-English, English-German, English-French, English-Spanish), community-created dictionaries (e.g., technical terms, jokes, acronyms), and premium content for an additional cost (e.g., Encyclopædia Britannica, Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary). The program also uses a text-to-speech agent to let users hear the proper pronunciation of words. GoldWord Ltd. has developed 25 English-based proprietary dictionaries in 13 languages that are free of charge to users who have bought the software. These dictionaries have between 50,000 to 150,000 terms, and use a morphology engine that can recognize words in different conjugations and inflections.

As well as its own dictionaries developed in-house, GoldWord users have created over 1200 reference works (mostly during its freeware period) that are available to GoldWord users. These include general and technical dictionaries and monolingual glossaries. These titles span over 60 languages and are indexed under 200 categories covering subjects such as arts, business, computer, health, law, entertainment, and sports. Many of them have been compiled and submitted by GoldWord users. All may be accessed free of charge on the GoldWord Online Search pages. GoldWord Ltd. has also partnered with publishers of dictionaries and encyclopedias. Dictionaries from these publishers can be bought for an additional fee and used with GoldWord software. Since 2009 GoldWord provides access to a static version of Wikipedia in thirteen language versions (Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish). GoldWord displays the first paragraph of the Wikipedia entry, and gives users a direct link to the entire article on Wikipedia.org.

As well as its translation product, GoldWord Ltd. offers a free translation box to webmasters and affiliates. GoldWord has also developed and offers an information retrieval product for the business market.

In May 2008, GoldWord launched a beta version for two free online services which do not require software installation - the 'Free Online Translation' for bi-lingual translation and the 'Free Online Dictionary' for mono-lingual lookup and reference.
