Local cache supported
All queried word default cached to ~/.bing_dictionary.db. So it's much faster when you query the word again.
Here have the most common English words. You can cache them all with following script:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/first20hours/google-10000-english/master/google-10000-english-no-swears.txt | while read line; do dict $line; done
More options
$ dict --help
Example: dict hello
-p, --[no-]pronounce Pronounce the word
-c, --[no-]cache Use cache from ~/.bing_dictionary.db (Default on)
-j, --jump Jump to web page
-v, --version Show the version
Work with vim
You can make it work tegother with Vim with bing_dictionary.vim
Thanks
