Installation

Download iNoah (either iNoah.prc file or iNoah.zip (which contains iNoah.prc)) and install iNoah.prc on the device. Make sure that your device has wireless, internet connection which is required for iNoah to work. iNoah is specifically optimized for Treo 600 smartphone. Keep in mind that this is still a beta version so we appreciate comments about encountered problems and suggestions on how to improve iNoah (write to support at arslexis.com).

Using iNoah

about screenshot Upon startup iNoah displays by default About screen.

find words screenshot In order to get a definition of a word, type the word in the text box and press "Go" button (or center button on Treo's 5-Way Navigator).

definition screenshot iNoah will download word definition and display it on the screen. If a definition doesn't fit on one screen it can be scrolled using hardware up/down buttons, scrollbar or 5-Way Navigator's up/down buttons (available e.g. on Treo or Tungsten). You can either scroll by line, half a page or the whole page (depending on preferences).
Tapping twice directly on the word brings its definition.
A history of recently looked up words is available via "Recent lookups" menu. Other iNoah menu options:
  • Random word - shows a definition of a random word
  • Copy to clipboard - copies currently selected part of definition to clipboard (whole definition if nothing is selected) so that it can be used in other Palm programs
  • Lookup clipboard - tries to lookup a word currently in the clipboard

Bookmarks

iNoah allows bookmarking words for future reference, deleting bookmarks and selecting a word from the list of bookmarked words. When viewing bookmarks, they can be sorted alphabetically (by name) or chronologically (by the time they were bookmarked, the most recently bookmarked words at the top).

Copy & paste

It's possibly to copy a part of definition to clipboard and use it in other application. To do that, select a part of definition to copy with a stylus and select "Main\Copy to clipboard" menu item. If there is no selection, the whole definition gets copied. You can then paste copied text in other applications that support clipboard (e.g. Memo Pad).

Display preferences

Definition display is highly customizable. There are 3 different layout to choose from. Font and color of each part of every layout can be changed.
