What's new in v1.5

  • Interface improvements

    Better interface with buttons and colors that contrast better with each other as well as better typography, more minimalist animations for a better user experience.

  • Bugs fixed

    Correction of errors mainly of grammar among the most outstanding is the elimination of "Gua" and "Guo" since that conjugation of letters does not belong to the grammar of the Spanish language. Also improvement in the application startup time.

  • Code improvement

    I have focused on the almost total reconstruction of the application so all the code is new, I have looked for the way to preserve the readability of the same for it I have divided each function in different files. Besides looking for the most efficient and easy way to do each one (All the code is in English).

  • The dictation function has been disabled

    I have decided to disable the dictation feature in the final version, as it gave me a lot of problems when packaging the application, so I decided to keep it disabled until I find a way to build this feature and have as few bugs as possible as well as a proper functioning.

About

Application focused on searching the meaning of words through web scraping, besides having more functions such as Dictation, Spelling and Syllables.
I created this application as a way to test the knowledge that I have started to acquire so I decided to make this dictionary with some basic functions like spelling but from there more ideas came up, like implementing a method that would tell me the meanings of the words that I didn't understand, or a way in which I didn't have to write the word and just by telling the computer I could write it. When I created this application I was just starting to learn Python (it is the language I used for this application) so I may have a lot of bad practices in the code that I am correcting for future versions. During the creation of this application I learned how to make user interfaces, I dabbled a bit in web scraping and besides investigating a method with which I can change text to sound and play it also at the end I used object oriented programming to facilitate the creation of the interface.
