## So how is this different from `dict` ?
`dict` is the client for DICT, or the Dictionary Server Protocol on Unix-like platforms. It is used to query natural language dictionaries without firing up a bloaty browser, which tremendously slows down your workflow.
`Vocab` aims to do the same as `dict`, only with some differences:
- Less verbose result (since `Vocab` only uses one source).
- Can save words to local client dictionary pickle file.
- Can add notes to a saved word.
- Includes a interactive word-quiz feature.
- With colors 🎨!
All in all, `Vocab` is a great tool for fast word queries with easy-to-read definitions, and a good support for ESL users.
