Oxford 6.1 for Pocket PC Installation of Oxford
Installation of Oxford
Oxford is installed from a desktop computer. Make sure that Microsoft ActiveSync is installed on your
desktop computer for synchronizing it with your mobile device. It is usually included in the CD with
software for your mobile device. Information on the installation of Microsoft ActiveSync is given in the
documentation to the program.
NOTE
The latest version of Microsoft ActiveSync is always available for download at:
http://www.microsoft.com.
NOTE
If your PC is running Windows Vista, you do not need to install ActiveSync.
ATTENTION!
Do not forget to make a backup copy of your mobile device data before the installation of any pro-
gram (including Oxford) to avoid the accidental loss of important data.
Installation
1. Connect your mobile device with your desktop computer via a cable. Run Microsoft ActiveSync.
Green icon means that connection is established.
2. Double-click on Oxford installation file on personal computer (*.exe). Installation process will start
automatically on your personal computer.
-9-
3. Enter the registration code in the the registration window (see also “Registration after the installa-
tion”).
4. Follow the instructions of the installation program.
5. If you install the program for the first time, all program components will be selected (i. e. all check-
boxes will be checked): the Oxford Dictionary Engine, the dictionary database (or several data-
bases), User Guide for Oxford. If you do not want to install some component, uncheck the box.
ATTENTION!
To use the dictionary, install the dictionary engine and at least one dictionary database.
Installation of additional dictionary databases
You can install the Oxford engine with several dictionary databases. To install all databases, launch the
installation process for all dictionaries one after another. During the installation of additional word da-
tabases you should perform steps 1-5 described above. If the Oxford engine is already installed on your
mobile device and all you want is to install additional databases, uncheck the box near Oxford Diction-
ary Engine. During the installation of additional dictionary databases you can select the destination me-
dia: the main memory or an expansion card.
If several dictionaries are installed and activated for the same language pair (for example, English-
French Universal dictionary and English-French dictionary of Law), their dictionary databases are
merged. The wordlist used to find translation will then contain words from all activated dictionaries and
the word lookup is performed in the word database of all those dictionaries. You can activate or deacti-
vate installed dictionaries individually. If only one dictionary is activated, only its database will be used
for word lookup. If several dictionaries are activated, the wordlist you see on the screen contains the
words from all activated dictionaries.
If the translation of the word is present in several activated dictionaries, you can pass to its translation in
different dictionaries using Previous/Next dictionary buttons on the dictionary toolbar.
If several dictionaries of different directions are installed, you can select dictionary direction
in Dictionary>Translation direction. Changing translation directions is described in Translation di-
rection menu.
NOTE
In the Translation direction menu all translation directions are shown even if some dictionaries were
installed on an expansion card, and some on the main memory.

English into French and vice versa, from German into
English and vice versa, from Russian into English and
vice versa.
Let us suppose that you are translating some text from
French into English. This means that you often need to
find English equivalents for French words (i.e. you often
need to use the French-English dictionary). But you also
may want to check if the English word you have chosen
for your translation can mean something else in French
using English-French dictionary.

word lookup. The Enable/Disable dictionaries window will appear. Enable/Disable dictionaries
menu allows to select the dictionaries which will be used for the word search and set priorities for each
of them. An active dictionary is a dictionary that will be used for the word search. To disable a diction-
ary you need to uncheck the boxes near it. If several dictionaries are active for one translation direction,
their word databases are merged (i. e. word search is carried out among all words from all these dic-
tionaries).
Dictionary priority indicates the order in which the translations of the word from active dictionaries
will be shown. When viewing the translation use icons to go to the translation in the previous or
next dictionary.

Card and to take the Flash Card Quiz to test your knowl-
edge. For more details, see Adding Flash Cards and Flash

How Oxford can help you to learn a foreign
language
How Oxford can help you to learn a foreign language
Oxford dictionaries have several functions that can help you to learn a foreign language:
Table of irregular verbs
To view the table of irregular verbs, open Dictionary menu

and select Irregular verbs (for English language only).
Tap the column heading to change the sorting order of the
words: alphabetical/reverse alphabetical order. Thus, even if
you know only one form of the verb, you will be able to find
the other forms quickly. (The screenshot on the right demon-
strates a table sorted by the Infinitive in alphabetical order.)
Tap any of the forms to see the dictionary entry for the verb.
Adding Flash Cards and Flash Cards Quiz
Paragon Software Group developed an algorithm for a Quiz based on effective time-proved methodic of
studing the foreign words with cards. The foreing word is written on the one side of the card and its
translation on another. To learn the translation you take any one card from the pile and see the foreing
word trying to remember its translation. Then you turn the card and see if you correctly remembered the
word.
In a similar, the Quiz in Oxford is implemented.
Unknown words found, for example, when reading the foreign literature can be added to the Flash
Cards and later you can take the Quiz for these cards.
- 27 -
language
If you want to save a word to a card for studying, choose

Dictionary>Flash Cards>To Flash Cards.
To start the quizz, choose menu Dictionary>Flash

Cards>Flash Cards Quiz.
Several cards will be taken at random from the saved Flash

Cards and demonstarted to you (20 at maximum).
First, you should recall the translation of the word you see
on the screen.
To pass on directly to the next flash card, tap Next (The
word you skipped will not be included in the quiz statistics).
To check if the translation you have recalled is right, tap
Translation.
To listen to the pronunciation of the word tap the sound icon
(if the pronunciation of the word is included in the sound
module installed on your device).
After you tap Translation, a window with dictionary trans-

lation of this word appears.
If several of the installed dictionaries contain the translaition
of the word, you can use Next dictionary-Previous
dictionary buttons to switch from one dictionary to another.
There are two buttons in the translation window: Right and
Wrong. If the translation you recalled is correct, tap Right,
otherwise tap Wrong.
- 28 -
language
Oxford will save the result and show the quiz statistics
when the quiz is finished: the number of right translations
recalled, the total number of cards shown and the number of
learned words.
The program saves statistics for several quizes and if you
often successfully recall the translation for a certain word,
this word is marked as “learned” and will not be included it
in the quiz any more.
To remember the words successfully you need to take a
Quiz from time to time.
Oxford program analizes the results of your quizes and when
you start the new Quiz Oxford chooses and shows the words
in such order which provides the best result to remember the
translation.
In a definite period the program includes the learned words
in the Quiz to refresh and strengthen your knowledge.
In the Flash Cards Quiz there is the Service menu. It al-
lows to: delete the current flash card (Delete card), Delete
all cards or select Always play sound. If you select Always
play sound, the pronunciation of every word that appears on
the screen will be played automatically (if it is included in
the Sound module installed on your device).
Word of the Day
In an addition to the Flash Card Quiz the Oxford program

helps to learn the new words permanently even if you do not
read the foreign literature.
Every day a word will be chosen at random order from the
dictionary and shown to you as the Word of the Day when
you start the program. So if you have lack of time to search for
new words you will improve your vocabulary permanently.
If you tap Hide, the Word of the Day will be hidden and you
will be able to maximize the Word of Day window by tapping
its icon in the taskbar. To dismiss the Word of the Day,
tap Dismiss. To save the word to a flash card, tap To cards.
The options of this feature can be set in the Diction-
ary>Options>Word of the Day options.

Oxford 6.1 for Pocket PC How to create your own dictionary
How to create your own dictionary
SlovoEd Studio
If you use the specific terms and for more effective work you need a special dictionary that includes
these terms you can create it by yourself.
SlovoEd Studio & Conversion Tools is a freeware program for advanced users. It allows you to con-
vert dictionary databases of different formats to the .prc format supported by the Oxford dictionary en-
gine. With SlovoEd Studio & Conversion Tools you can create dictionary databases out of the source
file you have chosen and set the layout that you prefer.
SlovoEd Studio & Conversion Tools program is installed on the desktop computer. The process is
very easy and fast. The compiler allows you to convert the resource database (*.dsl, * .wb, *.csv) into
the *.prc format, which can be used with Oxford dictionaries.
SlovoEd Studio not only helps you to compile a dictionary database, but also helps you to convert any
dictionary-like data to a handy format.
For example, you can organize a contact list or a kind of corporative database that contains information
on the products of your company.
This utility is more convenient than the standard instruments (such as Pocket Excel or a built-in Address
book), because it allows to markup all the entries quickly according to the logical structure of the en-
tries, and because the *.prc database which you get at the output is compatible with all mobile plat-
forms. Another advantage of a *.prc database is that it is significantly more compact than an ordinary
database, and the Oxford engine guarantees the fast search even if the *.prc file contains many thou-
sand entries.
To install a *.prc database on your device, you should:
1. Install the Oxford dictionary engine.
2. Use Microsoft ActiveSync Explore to copy your new *.prc database to the directory with dictionary
database on your device - for example, to My Device\Program Files\Paragon SlovoEd Dictionaries.
Do not delete the old dictionary database
3. Restart Oxford (select Dictionary>Exit and then run Oxford again).
4. Your new database should now be available in the Enable/Disable dicitonaries menu in the Ox-
ford program.
You can download the free copy of SlovoEd Studio at http://www.studio.penreader.com.
