SyvumClickTM for Internet Explorer
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- How does SyvumClickTM work?
Once you have installed and activated SyvumClickTM,
you can select (mark/highlight) any word in any page you are viewing
in your Internet Explorer to immediately look it up on
an online resource such as a dictionary, thesaurus, search engine or
translation service. On Windows, you can double-click any word to mark it.
You can also select multiple word text strings for lookup. To perform
lookups on multiple word selections, press Control-J after you select the
lookup text.
