What it does

Written by AI from the README

Looks up words in the PDF reader from local MDX, StarDict and DSL dictionaries or optional online translators. Saves words and notes, with CSV and Anki export. Bring your own dictionaries.

Looking up words while reading papers otherwise means switching to a dictionary app. Online sources are off by default and send the queried text to the provider.

What you'll need

Detected automatically

We haven't detected any setup requirements. That isn't the same as none: check the developer's README.

Your rating of LexiBridge · 词译桥 v1.3.1

Your review is public, under the name you give, and published with the directory's data under CC BY 4.0. Links are removed. We never store your IP address: a scrambled code made from it is kept for 30 days to catch fake reviews. Every review is checked before it's published; how fake ones are spotted isn't published, so it can't be gamed.
