- SomeHacker44 9y agoI agree. I would love a standalone app (Mac, iOS) which did not require offline access, even if it was multiple gigabytes. There was an old OED 2e app for the Mac with the full content.
- walterbell 9y agoThe standalone offline concise version includes updates, has 1/3 of the OED and is 128MB on iOS.
- Barjak 9y agoI just published a repository that de-obfuscates the archive from OED's Windows CD-ROM version. I don't know anything about the markup language it uses and I don't know anything about JSON either, but I attempt to parse it and convert it to JSON. Sadly, the archive only contains 300,000 words IIRC. It's just "OED_unpack_tools.py" on github.
