3\subsubsection{Prerequisites for using the plugin}
4To use the plugin, firstly you need to have the dictionary files which contain
5the words (index) and their description -- \fname{dict.index} and
6\fname{dict.desc}, respectively -- on \fname{/.rockbox/rocks/apps/} folder.
7
8The dictionary files can be created by yourself, or you can get them crafted
9from the web. More information can be found at \wikilink{PluginDict}.
10
11\subsubsection{Using the plugin}
12Now that you already have the two necessary files in place, you can launch the
13dict plugin (under Applications on the Browse plugins menu). The first thing
14you will see is the text input screen.
15
16Type part of a word (or the whole word) or anything the dict files have a
17definition to and accept the text input. The plugin will search for matching
18entries on the \fname{dict.index} file and display according description/meaning
19contained in the \fname{dict.desc} file.
20
21If no matches are found on the dictionary, a ``Not found'' message will be
22displayed and the plugin will exit. You can do another search by relaunching
23the plugin.
