OSS-Dict vs Seamless
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
OSS-Dict
OSS-Dict is an offline dictionary reader. It is fork of Aard 2 with new Material design and updated features Features Lookup queries are punctuation, diacritics and case insensitive. Bookmarks and History Dictionary Management Article Appearance: add your custom style sheets Math: Mathematical formuals are scalable, styleable, beautiful on any screen Random Article Volume Buttons Navigation Fullscreen Mode Clipboard Auto-Paste External Link Sharing Network Access Requirement This app requires the INTERNET permission to function properly. However, this is NOT for accessing the internet. The app is an offline dictionary that works without an internet connection. The INTERNET permission is required because the app uses a local embedded web server (localhost/socket communication) to display dictionary content. On Android, socket communication requires the INTERNET permission even when only communicating locally. Please do not disable network access for this app in your device settings, as this will prevent the app from working correctly.
Seamless
Offline speech to text tranlator based on Seamless M4T As a standalone app Seamless can translate between English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, and Russian. Upon launching Seamless for the first time, the app will download the necessary model from Hugging Face. Please note that this is the only instance where internet permission is required. Once the model is downloaded, speech to text translation works entirely offline, ensuring your privacy and convenience. To get the most out of Seamless, follow these simple tips: - Press and hold the microphone button while speaking. - Pause briefly before starting to speak. - Speak clearly, loudly, and at a moderate pace. - Then select the target language
