  • html: Default Dictionary.app output
  • speech-part: Parses the speech part of the first definition (e.g. noun, verb)

Background

This CLI uses DictionaryKit to fetch definitions via private Dictionary Services on OSX. This private API usage is not suitable for App Store apps. Read more background about dictionary services on NSHipster.
