Comments and Reviews
I have used GoldenDict so far, but I wanted a more lightweight, simple and offline dictionary. Artha is a very good app because it provides synonyms, antonyms, and derivatives below the word explanation, and has a simple and clean UI.
I frequently use WordWeb on Windows, so I was looking for another off-line dictionary to use on my Kubuntu laptop. This is exactly what I wanted. I especially like how the quick lookup shortcut will bring up a desktop notification with the definition instead of the main window - pleasantly unobtrusive :)
