spiritie 0 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi all,This might have a very simple solution but I have searched everywhere and have not found the answer.I read PDFs in Evernote and would like to double-click on new words to search for their meanings as I read. I thought this should be easy, just like having a Dictionary.Com add-on on FireFox, but apparently Evernote does not have it.Does anyone know how to integrate a dictionary into Evernote?Thank you very much!

Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted July 23, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted July 23, 2014 No dictionary, no plans that we're aware of - but then we never know anyway. You could use the web version of Evernote via Fx which would allow the add-in to check text for you... Link to comment

Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,319 Posted July 23, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi. Copy/paste an English dictionary (or whatever language you are using) into a note (see Project Gutenberg), open that up in a second window, and use it? Link to comment
Level 5 Adjusting 276 Posted July 23, 2014 Level 5 Share Posted July 23, 2014 If you’re using a Mac, do the following:1. Control click on the word (let’s say it’s bubblegum)2. From the context menu select 'Look up “bubblegum”'That should bring up a popover with the definition. Link to comment
nowvictoriousjudge 1 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I just upgraded to premium and I cannot believe you can't use google disctionary and/or that Evernote doesn't incorporate its own. Really?! Link to comment

I'm not looking to get even more frustrated about having no dictionary. Link to comment

I'm not looking to get even more frustrated about having no dictionary. TBH I'd want to try it out a little cautiously first - there's a max note size limit and a monthly upload allowance for all account types. As premium you have a 200MB note size limit - make sure your dictionary copy isn't bigger than that. Your upload allowance is a ridiculous number of gigabytes, so unless you've been astonishingly busy, that shouldn't be an issue. Link to comment
