Dear List,

I forward the following announcement on behalf of Dilbahar Singh:

Announcement: Hindi Dictionary app with Awadhi, Brajbhasha, Khariboli and Urdu Vocabulary for iPhone and Android

Academic Room Hindi Dictionary is a Hindi to English dictionary app developed in the Harvard Innovation Lab. Its massive database provides over 350,000 definitions. The dictionary is designed with students and scholars in mind, to help them translate words and idioms from modern Hindi, Urdu, Khariboli, Brajbhasha and Avadhi. All words can be searched using a Devanagari keyboard. The dictionary app works on iPhone, iPad, Android and Blackberry mobile platforms.

Chapati Mystery, a South Asian Studies blog, has this to say: "Our long national nightmare of lugging around huge Hindi dictionaries is finally over."
