Telesm

An offline-first dictionary using WordNet

Why Offline?

I'm sick of online dictionaries. Most of them display lots of ads which is distracting, and almost none of them let you save the words to review them in the future and memorzie them, unless, well, you pay for a premium package.

Introducing Telesm

So, here's an offline dictionary that uses WordNet to display the definition and the examples of a word. It saves your searched words in a list so you can check them later in your spare time.

Terminology

Telesm is the Persian word for Talisman.

Installation

Using pip:

pip install telesm

Usage

• To search for a meaning of a word:

telesm <word>

This will save the word to the database by default, if you don't want to save the word pass --no-save argument.

telesm <word> --no-save

• To list all the saved words:

telesm --list

If you want to navigate over the words one by one, pass --navigate argument:

telesm --list --navigate
