If you are in the wrong widget you can do vo-f2 twice to get the widget bar.

Hi,

Thanks so much.

Quite right Jim.  Here's how I did it.

1.  Open the widgit bar menu from F12.

2.  Select dictionary from this drop down.

3.  Type in or paste in the word you wish.

4.  Now, from the pop up menu just to the left of the text box, select either 
dictionary or Thesaurus.
5.  Now, press return.  That'll do it.

Many thanks Jim.

Re: accessible thesaurus

2014-03-17 Thread Chris Blouch
On the Mac, if the app uses the standard text edit widget you can select 
a word using option-shift-left or right to select the word to the left 
or right of where you are. Then you can pull up the contextual menu with 
control+option+shift+M an the first item will be Look Up 
word_you_selected. When you do that it will create a popup with 
snippets from the dictionary, thesaurus and wikipedia. If you action one 
of those you'll get the full dictionary app. Across the top of the 
dictionary app there are tabs for All, Dictionary, Thesaurus, Apple and 
Wikipedia. You can action one of those tabs which will update the HTML 
content below them with whatever you picked. This should be available in 
most any text editing area. I did have some trouble if I wasn't 
interacting with the text area before I selected the word. When that 
happened the contextual menu wouldn't pop up.

Re: accessible thesaurus

2014-03-17 Thread chris Apple Boy
Can we use this app offline? Obviously we can't use Apple or Wikipedia but can 
we use the integrated dictionary or thesaurus without an internet connection? 
If so this could be used as an offline reference tool should you not require 
such a connection.

Re: accessible thesaurus

If you are in the wrong widget you can do vo-f2 twice to get the widget bar.  
You should then find the dictionary widget if it is installed.

Ray I thought there used to be a keystroke defined to open dictionary but I 
don't see one.  I guess you could certainly define one in keyboard under system

way also.
I just used spotlight and typed in dictionary and it opened quite nicely.

 Ray I thought there used to be a keystroke defined to open dictionary but I 
 don't see one.  I guess you could certainly define one in keyboard under 
 system preferences, and a lot of programs will let you right-click and get 
 access that way also.
 I just used spotlight and typed in dictionary and it opened quite nicely.

 Quite right Jim.  Here's how I did it.
 
 1.  Open the widgit bar menu from F12.
 
 2.  Select dictionary from this drop down.
 
 3.  Type in or paste in the word you wish.
 
 4.  Now, from the pop up menu just to the left of the text box, select 
 either dictionary or Thesaurus.
 5.  Now, press return.  That'll do it.
 
 Many thanks Jim.

 I think there is even a dashboard widget to get there.  I love the fact 
 that the dictionary is available all over the mac and with just a few 
 keystrokes.

 Why yes, in fact, it does.  But, it's been so long since I've fooled with 
 it, I forgot how to get access to it.

 Doesn't the mac have one built in? Matter of fact doesn't the iPhone do 
 as well? They're sure buried from within their respective operating 
 systems but they are there.

 Hello All:
 What recommendations do people have for an accessible thesaurus for 
 either i phone or mac?  I went to the app store and there are several 
 available but I don't want to get one until I know it will be 
 accessible.
 Many thanks,
 Jean
