Recently I’ve been taking deep dives into some of the apps that are part of macOS. So far, you’ve been given the knowledge to become a power user of the macOS Calculator<\/strong><\/a> and Stickies<\/strong><\/a> apps. Today, you’ll learn how to squeeze every last bit of capability out of the Dictionary<\/strong> app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3..2..1…Launch!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start by launching the Dictionary app. Like all other Mac apps, it\u2019s found in the Applications folder, so you can launch it from there. If you use the Dictionary app a lot, you can add it to your Dock by clicking and holding on the Dictionary icon, then selecting “Options > Keep in Dock” (see screenshot below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Click
Click and hold on the Dictionary icon, then select Options > Keep in Dock to place the Dictionary app in the macOS Dock permanently<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Another way to launch the app is to use the Spotlight<\/a><\/strong> keyboard shortcut \u2014 Command ( \u2318 ) – Space Bar \u2014 and then type the first few letters of the word “dictionary.” The top hit will be “dictionary,” and by pressing the return key on your keyboard, the app is launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dictionary is also found in Launchpad<\/strong>, so click the little Rocket icon on your Dock, type a D to limit the launchpad screen to only those apps that start with the letter D, and then click on Dictionary to launch it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have Ask Siri set up on a Mac, you can even ask Siri to launch Dictionary \u2013 \u201cHey Siri, launch Dictionary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Many Dictionaries, So Little Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here the Dictionary window is open and waiting for use. Notice that in this case, there are several different dictionaries that I can search in \u2014 one\u2019s actually an encyclopedia, in this case Wikipedia. There\u2019s also an Apple Dictionary, which is a list of words and definitions for things related to Apple \u2014 perfect if you\u2019re an Apple writer! I also have the Oxford American Writer\u2019s Thesaurus to choose from for finding synonyms, as well as the New Oxford American Dictionary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Here's
Here’s the main Dictionary window, showing the dictionaries (and one encyclopedia) that have been installed<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If your list is different, or if you\u2019d like to add different sources, that\u2019s done from the Dictionary menu. Select Preferences, and the window seen in the screenshot below appears. There\u2019s a list of different reference sources listed. Check the ones you want to use, and you can drag them up or down into the order you prefer. Each of the sources may have additional options. For example, pronunciation for the New Oxford American Dictionary can be shown using Diacritical marks or the International Phonetic Alphabet or IPA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dictionary
Dictionary preferences provide a way to prioritize which sources are listed first.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Want to translate some words to or from another language? There are a lot of mixed dictionaries, such as the Oxford – Hachette French Dictionary, which is a French – English dictionary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have the Dictionary app open and have chosen some sources, it\u2019s extremely easy to use. In the search field at the top of the screen, just type the word you want a definition for. Here I\u2019ll look up the word apple, and in the screenshot below you can see we start with our first preference, the New Oxford American English dictionary (AKA “English”). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Here's
Here’s the Dictionary definition of the word “apple”<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I can also look at the English Thesaurus, which shows no synonyms for the word Apple. I can go to Wikipedia<\/strong> and get the full Wikipedia entry for apple (see image below). On the left is a list of items in Wikipedia that contain the word Apple, so if I wish to find out more about the company, I can select Apple Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The Dictionary app is a wonderful Wikipedia browser!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Jumping to the French-English dictionary, we see the French word for Apple (pomme) as well as common idioms in French (see screenshot below). While English speakers may say \u201cThere\u2019s a bad apple in every bunch\u201d, the French use \u201cIl y a toujours une brebis galeuse\u201d, roughly translated as \u201cThere\u2019s always a black sheep\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"French-English

Finally, we can look at the Apple dictionary, which displays a long list of Apple products or services beginning with the word Apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The Apple Dictionary shows a list of products or services beginning with the word Apple<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t like how small the letters are in the Dictionary app? Click the larger of the two A\u2019s at the top of the window to increase the font size, or the smaller one to decrease the font size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may notice that most of the words in the definitions are underlined when you move your pointer over them. That means that you can right-click on that word and select from a contextual menu. Right-click on \u201cfruit\u201d, and we are given the choice of looking up that word in a new tab or a new window, doing a Google search, and so on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Right-clicking
Right-clicking a word in the Dictionary displays a contextual menu<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If I open the word fruit in a new tab, it opens a tab somewhat like those you see in Safari and other apps (see screenshot below). Click on the tab to open it. You can even add a new tab without typing a word by clicking on the plus sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Here
Here we’ve opened the word “fruit” in a new Dictionary app tab<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Many people have problems deciphering the diacriticals and International Phonetic Alphabet in determining how to pronounce a word, so you can also have your Mac speak the word. Right-click on the word \u201cproduct\u201d in the definition for fruit, and select Speech > Start Speaking (see screenshot below). The Mac voice does a very good job of pronouncing each word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Don't
Don’t know how a word is pronounced? Have your Mac speak it!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Mac operating system even provides access to the Dictionary without having to open up the Dictionary app. In the screenshot below, I’m visiting the Rocket Yard website in Safari. Let\u2019s say I want to know what the word theater means. I right-click on the word, select Look Up theater, and a window appears with the definition, synonyms, and even French usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Looking
Looking up a word on a Safari web page with the Dictionary<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Another way to do this? Hover your pointer over a word and type the shortcut Control – Command ( \u2318 ) – D. It highlights the word in yellow and displays the same Look Up window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blocking dirty words, adding words, and having Siri spell a word<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I was a horrible kid in the 60s, I used to look up dirty words in the dictionary. If you have children and want to keep them from following in my footsteps, you can block those words. Launch System Preferences, click on Screen Time, then click Content & Privacy. If these restrictions are turned off, click the Turn On\u2026 button. On the Content tab, you see an item to \u201cAllow Explicit Language in Siri and Dictionary\u201d. Uncheck<\/em> that box, and now your children can\u2019t look up the meaning of some of those words you\u2019d rather not have them using. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Occasionally you may find that when you\u2019re using another app on your Mac, it decides to flag a word as misspelled<\/strong>. This commonly happens with technical terms or brand names. For example, I like the lifestyle app Noom, but usually when I type it autocorrect changes it to “moon”. Once you see the dotted red line below a word that your Mac believes is misspelled, right-click it and select \u201cLearn spelling\u201d. While you still won\u2019t be able to search in your dictionaries for that word, it is no longer flagged as an incorrect spelling since it has been added to a user dictionary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One more cool thing that has to do with the Dictionary. Sometimes you may know a word, but don\u2019t know how to spell it in order to look it up in the dictionary. Let\u2019s say that I need to figure out how to spell the word \u201cgnostic\u201d. I can just ask Siri. Invoking Siri on the Mac is easy if you have enabled Ask Siri<\/strong> in System Preferences. I\u2019ll just say \u201cHey, Siri, spell gnostic\u201d \u2014 and Siri spells it for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

As you can see, the macOS Dictionary app is both incredibly powerful and easy to use. You have no more excuses for not knowing the meaning or spelling of a word, finding synonyms, or even what the word is in another language. See you soon with another helpful Apple tip!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
