About Easydict for Windows
Easydict is an open-source translation and dictionary lookup tool. It supports selection translation, OCR screenshot translation, long document translation, grammar correction, and dictionary mode, and offers three window forms: main window, mini window, and pinned window. It comes with built-in support for various translation services such as Google, Bing, DeepL, OpenAI, as well as Windows local AI translation (requiring corresponding hardware support). Built with WinUI 3, it supports dark/light themes, global hotkeys, clipboard monitoring, and TTS reading. It is compatible with Windows 10 version 2004 and above.
