Digital Pāḷi Dictionary - highlight a word anywhere, any app on your windows pc screen, hit control c twice, and it looks it up!

 This is an email I got, reprinting announcement. It's not a finished product, still a work in progress.

That said, it's so useful you're going to wonder how you got along without it before.
Shows pāḷi and sanksrit roots, grammar declension tables, lots more.
I still use other tools, DPR, etc., but this tool is so convenient, so easy to trigger it's my first resort looking up a word.
The golden dictionary app it's built on, you can also add dictionaries for other languages, and it searches wikipedia as well.

Digital Pāḷi Dictionary

Dear Venerable monastics, professors and Pāḷi nerds,


I am happy to say that I now have permission from my preceptor to share DPD more widely, under the proviso that it is a work in progress.

So please feel free to share it with your fellow monastics, colleagues, students, Dhamma friends and anyone else who may benefit from its use. 

Here is your monthly update. You can download the latest .zip directly or always get the latest version from this page on Github.

Detailed instructions on how to install or update can be found on the website.

More detailed information about the various features can be found here.

A changelog of all this month's updates and developments can be seen here.

Anything else you need to know about DPD can be found on the website.

Wishing you a most auspicious Vesākha full moon day. 

Bodhirasa.
