Searches as you type

Clue starts searching as soon as you type a letter in the search field. The word is often found before you have finished entering it. You can empty the search field by pressing «Enter» or «F3».

Explanations and examples

Right click on words to get detailed entries such as word classes, orthography, definitions and sample sentences. Brief grammar details are given for most languages. Select «Help» and «Grammar».

Entries in Clue from other programs

ClueXpress is activated from the toolbar in the relevant program, and is shown in a small, transparent window. Copy a word in the program using «Ctrl+C» and it will automatically be translated. The word can also be entered directly in the search field.

Select dictionary

All dictionaries translate in both directions (e.g. Norwegian- English/English-Norwegian). Change between the languages using the pull-down menu, or by pressing «Tab» and «Ctrl+Tab».

Activate/deactivate dictionary

Under «Settings» and «Dictionary Activation»you will see which dictionaries are included in your licence. The dictionaries you don’t use can be disabled so that they are not shown, but can easily be reactivated when needed.

Quick copy

Click on one word or highlight several words in Clue. They are now automatically copied to the clipboard and can be pasted directly into a document or an e-mail.

Always on top

You can ensure that Clue is always the top screen, regardless of what program you are working in. Select «Settings» and highlight «Always on top».

Fonts, colours and menu language

Choose «Settings» to change font, font size, font colours and menu language.
