14. dictutil

    13 1 78 3.7 Go

    Tools, documentation, and libraries related to Kobo dictionaries.

    

    Project mention: Show HN: Runik – Turn fan wikis into e-reader dictionaries | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-07-01

    - Kindle support, despite requiring proprietary software (kindlegen) to compile a valid dictionary, was surprisingly easier to implement than kobo support. Kobo requires the words to be organized into a trie and encrypted. Fortunately, there's a great tool called dictutil (https://github.com/pgaskin/dictutil) that handles most of that! Kobo also doesn’t allow for custom dictionary names, hence the awkward dicthtml-[r] prefix if you use a kobo.

    Over the next year I’m looking to, improve parsing, include definition formatting options, and add support for more devices.
