Fora Reader v3 Welcome to Fora Reader, the linguist's dedicated browser & featured dictionary.
Fora Reader is a reading application with a basic browser dedicated to reading documents in a foreign language. Main features include rapid word translations within the browser and complete dictionary management.
Being not tied to any computer type, Fora works fine on Windows, Mac and Linux. Some features (cross-lookup, hover activation) may require you install additional libraries.
Fora uses various types of inline tooltips and split views to display translations. It has a ultimate goal of uninterrupted reading/browsing activity as employing well-tailored tooltips or featured dictionary panels right around the word to be translated. The application can be viewed as a tool that virtually converts every document (or website) to an interactive one that has a complete integrated glossary.
Whether you are a professional translator, a student doing homework or a web surfer looking for new horizons, the intuitive functionality will greatly help you communicate in languages in which you are not comfortable and will enhance your productivity.
The name Fora is an acronym derived from "Foreign Reader's Aid". It has nothing involved with the English word "fora" which is plural form of "forum".
Rationale behind the application
When the number of words in a paragraph that which you don't know
meaning exceeds one in five, crawling regular
dictionaries becomes increasingly tiring, even infeasible, and a
need to better utilize the computer's graphical user
interfaces (e.g. tooltips) and interaction hardware (e.g. mouse) arises.
Fora uses various tooltip-like customized pop-ups or integrated
panels to display
translations.
The tooltips are controlled completely with trivial mouse movements or
clicks.
Additionally you can use auxiliary background mode to translate from every
application.
