New version of qdacco (0.6)

There is a new version of qdacco available for download both for GNU/Linux (and other Unix platform) (file with data, file without data) and for Windows.

This new version has many improvements in functionality. Click 'read more' to find out what they are.

Integration with the Festival speech synthesizer. This allows users to search for a word and hear it pronounced with a simple click. Festival has support for English but not for Catalan just yet. The Generalitat are working on providing Catalan support and hopefully this should be available shortly.

  • Incremental search function (find as you type). This is a very useful addition to qdacco. When searching for a word, all possible words we could be searching for are presented to us. For example, if we search for “abans” we are able to see “abans”, “abans d’ahir” and “abans que res”. With the up arrow or the mouse we can select the word we need.
  • Ability to ignore accents and capital letters. With a web search of Dacco or a search using previous versions of qdacco, if we searched for “sagrada família” it would not be found as we hadn’t used capital letters. If we searched for “basquet” instead of “bàsquet” the search would fail too. Now we can select to ignore capital letters or accents.

In addition, qdacco contains all the functions which were available in previous versions such as the ability to suggest new entries, send comments about existing entries, copy and paste, etc.
