“Moedict” is an enhanced version of The Mandarin Chinese Dictionary of the Ministry of Education.
It contains 160,000 entries of Mandarin used in Taiwan, 20,000 entries of Taiwanese Hokkien, and 14,000 entries of Taiwanese Hakka for query purposes. It also integrates features such as English, French, and German translations, stroke order, and pronunciation. Based on the spirit of open collaboration, Moedict has spawned iOS, Android, and desktop applications, as well as sub-projects like Amis Moedict and iTaigi, which promote the use of Amis language and Taiwanese Hokkien respectively.
