## What is Raycast Easydict?
**Raycast Easydict** is a simple, easy-to-use, **cross-platform** dictionary and translation extension for Raycast, supporting quick word lookups and text translation. In addition to traditional dictionary and translation services, it also supports AI-powered translation and lookup, including Raycast AI and OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
Beyond quick lookups, Raycast Easydict also works as a lightweight language-learning tool: save results to review offline, view Chinese character stroke-order diagrams, and export them to [Anki](https://apps.ankiweb.net/) for spaced-repetition practice.

## Installation
This is an extension of Raycast, so you need to install [Raycast](https://www.raycast.com/) first. Easydict works on both macOS and Windows.
> [Raycast](https://www.raycast.com/) is a blazingly fast, totally extendable launcher. Similar to [Alfred](https://www.alfredapp.com/) but it's completely free!
### Install from Raycast Store
<a title="Install Easy Dictionary Raycast Extension" href="https://www.raycast.com/isfeng/easydict#install">
<img width="256" style="width: 256px" src="https://assets.raycast.com/isfeng/easydict/install_button@2x.png">
</a>
### Manually Install
```bash
git clone https://github.com/tisfeng/Raycast-Easydict.git && cd Raycast-Easydict
npm install && npm run dev
```
## Configuration
Easydict works well out of the box. The following options help you customize its behavior.
### Manage Providers
Use the **Manage Providers** command to manage AI providers and to set the order in which all providers are queried.
**Providers and order**
- Built-in providers are listed here for ordering only; enable and configure them in Extension Settings.
- Reorder any provider with **Move Up**/**Move Down** (`Cmd+Option+Up/Down` on macOS, `Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down` on Windows).
**AI providers**
- AI providers connect to **Raycast AI** or any **OpenAI-compatible endpoint**.
- Built-in presets cover common providers: pick yours, add the API key, and adjust the model if needed. If yours is missing, [contributions are welcome](https://github.com/tisfeng/Raycast-Easydict/blob/main/docs/development/adding-ai-provider.md).
- **Word & Term Results** chooses **Plain Translation** or **AI-Generated Dictionary Entry**. Dictionary mode builds a structured entry for words and terms — pronunciation, senses, examples, and word forms — while other input is translated normally; it can be slower and may need a retry.
**Legacy migration**
- OpenAI and Gemini settings with an API key migrate automatically the next time you open Search Word or Manage Providers, preserving connection settings, enablement, and order.
- The old settings remain import sources only; **Add from Legacy OpenAI/Gemini Settings…** copies them into a new provider, initially disabled.
- Migration is per device (each device needs the legacy API key) and offers a retry if it fails.
### Preferred Languages
The default preferred languages are simplified Chinese and English. You can change them according to your preferences.
Preference language has two main functions:
<details><summary> First, it improves the accuracy of automatic detection of input text language. </summary>
<p>
Preference language will be given priority in order during automatic detection. This is because some words may represent multiple languages at the same time, and the automatic detection program cannot work as expected. In most cases, the automatic detection of input text is very useful, except for very few special cases. For example, the English word `heel` will be automatically recognized into Dutch by Youdao translation, and then the translation results are not what we expect. At this time, if your `Easydict` preferred language contains English, it will be recognized into English first and translated correctly.
</p>
</details>
<details><summary> Second, it is used to confirm your target translation language. </summary>
<p>
For example, if you input a sentence arbitrarily, it will be translated into the first preferred language. If the automatically recognized language is the same as your first preferred language, it will be automatically translated into the second preferred language.
</p>
</details>
### Select Target Language
<details><summary> Specify the target language. This option is turned off by default. </summary>
<p>
By default, the extension will automatically select the preferred language as the target translation language. However, sometimes if you want to manually specify a language as the target language, you can turn on this option in the preferences and then you can temporarily select another target language in the action panel.
</p>
</details>
### Automatic Query Selected Text
<details><summary> Automatic query selected text of the frontmost application, this option is turned on by default. </summary>
<p>
In order to better match the automatic selected text feature, it is a good idea to set a hotkey for `Easydict`, such as `Cmd` + `E`, so that after selected the text, you can directly query words through the hotkey, which is very smooth and elegant.
</p>
</details>
### Automatic Play Query Word Pronunciation
<details><summary> Automatically play the word audio after querying the word, turned on by default. </summary>
<p>
Note that when this option is started, the voice will be played only when the query is judged to be `is_Word` and in English, e.g. `good`, `look for`, etc. Use **Read Query Text** to play other queries manually.
The content of playing voice: English words are pronounced by the online Youdao dictionary first, and other words are pronounced by the TTS service of Youdao translation. For long text playback, use the say command.
</p>
</details>
Use these shortcuts from a query result:
| Action | macOS | Windows |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Read Query Text | `Cmd+R` | `Ctrl+R` |
| Read Result Text | `Cmd+Shift+R` | `Ctrl+Shift+R` |
| Requery All Services | `Cmd+Option+R` | `Ctrl+Alt+R` |
### Query Cache
Open **Preferences** from a query result's action menu to configure caching. **Query Cache** controls completed dictionary and machine translation results; **AI Query Cache** controls completed AI translations and dictionary entries. Both default to **Off**. Choose **Words Only** to cache input recognized as a word or term, or **All Text** to also cache sentences and longer text.
Built-in dictionary results are retained for up to **7 days**; machine translations and AI results for up to **24 hours**. Confirmed language-detection results are also cached for up to 24 hours when either setting permits caching the input. There is no separate language-detection cache setting; it is disabled when both settings are Off.
Cached results show a clock indicator. Use these actions to manage them:
- **Requery All Services**: Query the enabled services again with fresh language detection, bypassing the cache.
- **Regenerate AI Result**: Generate a fresh result from the selected AI provider, leaving other providers' results in place. This also works when AI caching is Off.
- **Clear Query Cache**: Remove cached dictionary, translation, AI, and language-detection results.
Fresh results from requerying or regeneration replace the cached result when the corresponding cache mode allows caching that input.
### Favorite Storage and Recovery
Favorites remain available offline after upgrading. Older versions only see the snapshot from before the upgrade, and edits made in either version do not sync between formats.
If saved favorites cannot be read, Favorite Words keeps the original data and blocks changes. Use **Export Original Data** to save a local JSON backup, or **Restore from Backup** to select a valid backup; **Restore Previous-Version Favorites** recovers the retained collection when the current data is damaged. The current data is backed up before either restore. Backups are stored locally in the extension support directory, and **Open Backup Folder** reveals them. Data from a newer version stays read-only: export it and open it with a compatible Easydict version.
### Anki Preferences
These preferences control how Favorite Words are sent to [Anki](#anki).
- **Add Favorites to Anki Automatically**: also add each new favorite to Anki (off by default).
- **Anki Deck**: the deck that receives the cards (default `Easydict`); the deck and an `Easydict` note type are created on first use.
- **AnkiConnect URL**: the address of the AnkiConnect add-on (default `http://127.0.0.1:8765`); change it when AnkiConnect listens on a custom port or on another machine.
### System Proxy
`Easydict` supports system proxy. To use it, turn on `Use System Proxy Settings` in the Raycast extension settings. When enabled, all network requests will be sent through the system proxy. This is useful for services that require a proxy (e.g., Google Translate in China) or for counter IP blocking (some services such as Linguee have frequency restrictions on IPs). **Enabling proxy may slow down response time, so please enable it only when needed.**
### Windows OCR Language
On Windows, **OCR Translate** recognizes text with the built-in Windows OCR engine and the OCR language packs installed in Windows. Run **Select OCR Language** to see the installed languages and pin one; the default **Automatic (Windows profile)** creates the engine from the first OCR-capable language in your Windows language settings. Install more language packs under Windows Settings → Time & Language → Language & Region. This command does not affect macOS, where recognition uses Apple Vision and detects the language automatically.
## Integrations
### Anki
Favorite Words can be sent to [Anki](https://apps.ankiweb.net/) for spaced-repetition review through the [AnkiConnect](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2055492159) add-on (code `2055492159`).
- **Add cards**: Keep Anki open, then use **Add to Anki** (`Cmd + Option + A`, `Ctrl + Shift + A` on Windows) or **Add All to Anki** from a favorite's action menu. If Anki is not running, the word is still saved to Favorites and can be sent later with **Add All to Anki**.
- **Cards**: The front shows the word, phonetic, and pronunciation (the saved audio is downloaded into Anki and plays automatically); the back shows translations and dictionary explanations. Words already in the deck are skipped, so **Add All to Anki** can be run again after saving new favorites. Removing a favorite does not delete its Anki card, so review history is kept.
The deck, the AnkiConnect address, and automatic adding are configured in [Anki Preferences](#anki-preferences).
### PopClip
You need to install [PopClip](https://pilotmoon.com/popclip/) first, then add a shortcut key for `Easydict`, such as `Cmd + E`, then you can open `Easydict` quickly with `PopClip`!
Usage: Select the following code block, `PopClip` will show "Install Easydict", just click it.
```
# popclip
name: Easydict
icon: search E
key combo: command E
```
> Ref: https://github.com/pilotmoon/PopClip-Extensions#extension-snippets-examples
### Eudic
If the [Eudic](https://www.eudic.net/v4/en/app/eudic) dictionary app is installed, **Open in Eudic App** opens the queried word in it (macOS).
## Supported Languages

<!-- /automd -->
### Language Detection
Easydict uses four remote language detection services: Bing, Baidu, Tencent, and Volcano. Franc provides the local fallback.
Bing and Baidu language detection are enabled by default. Tencent and Volcano can be enabled independently in preferences and require their corresponding credentials. In general, enabling more detection services can improve accuracy and response time.
Details of the languages supported by each language detection service are as follows:

## Translation Services Setup
For ease of use, we provide built-in API credentials (AppID and AppKey) for translation services. However, these shared services have rate limits. If too many users access them simultaneously, responses may slow down or fail. Therefore, for the best experience, we highly recommend applying for your own dedicated API credentials and updating them in the Preferences page.
Don't worry, these services offer generous free tiers that are more than enough for personal use.
The following tutorial (from [`Bob`](https://bobtranslate.com/guide/advance/service.html)) will guide you through the application process step by step.
- [Youdao Translate](https://bobtranslate.com/service/translate/youdao.html)： Select `text translation` and `speech synthesis`. (You will receive ¥50 experience fund)
- [Baidu Translate](https://bobtranslate.com/service/translate/baidu.html)
- [Tencent Translate](https://bobtranslate.com/service/translate/tencent.html)
- [Volcano Translate](https://bobtranslate.com/service/translate/volcengine.html)
- [Caiyun Translate](https://bobtranslate.com/service/translate/caiyun.html)
- [DeepL](https://www.deepl.com/translator)
