Noah Pro 2.0 Supports Expansion Cards
ArsLexis has released Noah Pro 2.0, an English dictionary with definitions of 122 thousand words. This version supports Palm m500/m505 SD memory expansion, the Sony CLIE Memory Stick, the MemPlug for Visor, HandEra 330 SD/CF memory expansion, and TRGPro CompactFlash. It costs $20. Noah Lite, the free version, has not been updated so doesn't have expansion card support.
Thanks to compression all 122 thousand words only take 4.7 MB of memory. It also has smaller databases that require less memory. The smallest is 1 MB. Users can also create their own dictionaries.
If a database is stored on an external memory card, Noah Pro requires 1 MB of internal memory and 5 MB of external memory.

This need alote of work
-You can't add words.
-It takes up to much room and the user interface needs alote of work!!!!!!
After searching along time I have found the one, and will not at all witch,they great support and understanding. and you can add words and even they are willing to mack your own personal dictionary for you FREEE. Plus add one or more dictionarys to the same interface.
Noah Pro needs alot of work alot of work.
RE: An Alternative
As a matter of fact, BDicty appears to be a better alternative. Yes, you can add words (create custom dictionary - very useful for professionals and engineers), and then you can have smart layout of the screen display depending on the lenght of explanation of a word. What's more is that with BDicty you can have a couple of really useful lexicons - for free. I like the Thesarus most. For those who do not have the luxury of add-on memory, BDicty English English lexicon also comes with a lite version, at no extra cost.
Not to mention about other laugagues available, if one so wish ( especially users in Europe - German, Spanish, Russian and even Vietnamese).

RE: This need a lot of work
> its v4.6 can deal with SD/MMC/CF...etc.
Francis, basically BDicty didn't get any coverage because no one sent me anything on it, unlike Noah. As much as I try, I can't be everywhere. If you think something is news-worthy, please send it to me. I don't guarantee I'll run it but I can guarantee I won't if I don't hear about it.
p.s. Insulting someone who speaks another language for their weak grasp of English is pointless trollbait.

Version 2.0 Crashes my TRGPro!!!!!
Worked around this by keeping a medium size dictionary and an equal or greater amount of RAM free. I was fairly satisfied but was excited to see the 2.0 release supported my TRGPro CF directly.
Read the instructions, installed as per the referrence to keep the db in the root on the card. Fired it up with the largest dictionary and WHAMMO! Crashamundo!!!
Tried everything over again, same result. Tried with all Hacks disabled, same result. Tried with the db in AutoCF directory, same result. Tried with a smaller dictionary db and the program in RAM, same result.
I deleted version 2.0 and am using 1.1 again. I will wait for an incremental version change and try again. Sigh, and I was so excited to be able to have the large dictionary too.....
EDITOR....I was unable to login, the page kept erroring on me, so I posted this as anonymous. I am at work, so it could be a problem on this end.
RE: Version 2.0 Crashes my TRGPro!!!!!
I had to take our member database offline for about an hour to fix a nasty bug in the forums. It's back up now.
