While reading online I often stumble with words that I don’t know or I don’t have a clear understanding of their meaning. That’s why I always have a dictionary with me. reading without understanding some words is really hard to grasp concepts or ideas.
I have been using ifinger for a long time, and I only stopped using it in the short period of time I had windows vista installed on this laptop.
What is ifinger?
iFinger is a software program that incorporates structured information databases. The program then provides the user with instant access to that information.
iFinger works on any word you can highlight contained within any Windows based program – including word-processors, spreadsheets, and graphics software.
ifinger docks itself on any active window so you always have the ability to check the meaning of a word quick and easy.
This is ifinger currently docked on my Windows Live writer app
ifinger also grab article links from wikipedia related to the word you are searching for:
I honestly never knew the true meaning of geek, until now!
Of course if you don’t want Wikipedia you can get rid of it by going to the configuration option and remove it from the product lists:
There you have it, a nice free dictionary to make your reading experience more meaningful.

I have kind of an old version of I finger that SOMETIMES, when I install it on a new computer, or a reformatted hard disk, will NOT translate words by double-clicking, but instead shows me PART of one of those "Cannot find server" internet pages. "The page cannot be displayed"
On Internet pages, just pointing the cursor at a word translates it.
This drives me crazy! Just the other day I had it working fine. I'd double-click a word and the translation list would come up just as it should.
Then I reformatted and re-installed, and I've got this problem again.
I don't know what the key step is that I should or should not take to make Ifinger work in Word.
Can you help me?
Thanks,

Double click does not work! Why?
Internet Explorer 7 running in Windows Vista "steals" the double click from iFinger. That means as long as IE is running, you must double click and then press the hot key (default [CTRL]+[F11]) in order to perform a search.
Completely uninstall the existing Ifinger from the Directory C. Don,t leave any file belonging to Ifinger by seeing Programme folder. Then reinstall Ifinger. It will work.
I have the same problem as the others are complaining of.When I was installing this program,it told me to DOUBLE-CLICK the icon-ifinger on my desktop but it doesn't work.My computer is a windows XP.So if you have the one for my system then please let me know.THANKS.
i heard about this dictionary from my friend. this dictionary is really important for the students f all levels.
I've been using iFinger products since 6 years and I'm fed up with this company. Each time they upgrade their engine (or each time I change my operating system or my computer), I lose my iFinger licenses!
It took me weeks to obtain my licenses again. Last but not least, this month they lose my name in their customer database and they don't want to provide me new licenses… The iFinger's support proposed me to buy them again!
why we should put the license key, i did download it but it did not take into work with that. what should i do?????
When I want to register my product which I bought at a computer outlet in SA, it tells me HTTP/1.1 404 not found, Statuscode 404.
