WORD MEANING LOOKUP

ABSTRACT

Reading and comprehending paragraphs with complicated or unusual English words


can be difficult, demanding repeated dictionary search queries. This can severely
disrupt the study flow, rendering the procedure inefficient and irritating. To solve this
issue, we propose creating a web portal that would aid readers by offering Telugu and
English meaning. For each English word in a paragraph. Our solution combines HTML,
CSS, and Java Script to produce a smooth, user-friendly, and responsive online
experience. The heart of the functionality is built on dictionary APIs for Telugu and
English, which are integrated to provide accurate and contextually appropriate results.
When readers enter a paragraph into the website in English, the procedure starts. The
algorithm then analyses the text to identify specific terms and answers with the
appropriate meaning.
For each and every word, the system searches the dictionary APIs for possible
meanings in both languages. The system makes use of contextual analysis techniques
to deliver the most relevant and contextually suitable solutions. The selected meanings
are then shown alongside the original text, making it easy for users to reference them
without breaking their study flow. This method not only tackles the immediate
difficulty of understanding complicated texts but also improves language accessibility
and usefulness for multilingual users.
Users can explore both languages more easily, acquiring a deeper comprehension
and better application of complicated words. Overall, this tool intends to empower
users by making language acquisition and comprehension more accessible and less
burdensome, promoting a more intuitive and efficient approach to studying and
comprehending complicated English texts

INTRODUCTION
Reading and comprehending paragraphs with complicated or unusual English words can be difficult,
demanding repeated dictionary search queries. This can severely disrupt the study flow, rendering
the procedure inefficient and irritating.

1.1 Background
The complexity of an English test for readers typically depends on a few key factors:
1. Reading Level: This involves vocabulary, sentence structure, and the subject matter. A test meant
for beginners will include simple, common words and straightforward sentences, while advanced
tests might feature complex vocabulary and nuanced phrasing.
2. Question Types: Multiple-choice questions tend to be less complex than open-ended ones, as they
provide limited options. Comprehension tests with inference-based questions, main idea questions,
or analysis of tone and style are generally more challenging, especially as readers must think critically
and interpret text on a deeper level.
3. Text Length and Structure: Short passages focus on quick comprehension, but longer, more
detailed texts require sustained attention and memory. Complex texts also might include multiple
characters, events, or arguments that readers need to distinguish and understand.
4. Genre and Subject Matter: Fiction tends to use different types of language than nonfiction.
Nonfiction, especially academic or technical writing, can add difficulty with specialized vocabulary
and detailed descriptions of facts or processes.
5. Cultural Context and Background Knowledge: Understanding certain references, idioms, or
historical/cultural context within a passage can also make a test more difficult if readers are unfamiliar
with the setting or themes.
The term "look up" generally has two primary meanings depending on the context:
I. To Search for Information
II. To Check on the Status or Condition of Something
III. Improvement or Positivity in Circumstances (Informal)
IV. Literal Use - To Direct One's Gaze Upward

I.To Search for Information:


This is the most common interpretation of "look up," where it means actively seeking specific
information. The information could be located in a reference source like a dictionary, encyclopedia,
search engine, or database. The action implies that the person is intentionally trying to find
knowledge they do not already have or need clarification on.

2
VREC CSE
WORD MEANING LOOKUP INTRODUCTION

Example: "He decided to look up the history of the ancient ruins they visited."
Explanation: Here, "look up" suggests an effort to seek knowledge about something specific that may
not be immediately known or is otherwise complex. This action implies consulting a credible or
reliable source.
This sense of "look up" has become increasingly relevant with digital technology, as people frequently
"look up" information on their phones, computers, or other devices, which is faster than traditional
methods.

II.To Check on the Status or Condition of Something:


In some contexts, "look up" can imply checking the current state or status of something, which can
be tied to locations, health conditions, or settings. This meaning is about monitoring or verifying
something as it is rather than learning entirely new information.
Example: "Can you look up the flight status to see if it's on time?"
Explanation: Here, the person is not seeking a deep understanding but is instead trying to confirm the
current state of a known entity (the flight status in this case).

III. Improvement or Positivity in Circumstances (Informal):


In informal English, "look up" also suggests an improvement in situations, relationships, or other
circumstances. This usage implies that conditions were once difficult or uncertain but are now
beginning to show signs of getting better.
Example: "After months of hard work, things are starting to look up."
Explanation: Here, "look up" suggests a shift in a positive direction, often bringing hope or relief. This
figurative sense of "up" indicates positivity or an optimistic perspective on the future.

IV. Literal Use - To Direct One's Gaze Upward:


In its literal sense, "look up" can simply mean to lift your eyes or head to see something above you.
Example: "Look up at the sky; the stars are beautiful tonight."
Explanation: Here, there’s no deeper meaning; it’s simply an instruction to gaze upward.

1.2 OBJECTIVE
A word lookup project aims to develop a comprehensive system or tool that facilitates the search and
retrieval of detailed information about words in the English language (or other languages). The main
goals and components of such a project typically include:
1. Word Definition Retrieval: The core function of a word lookup tool is to provide definitions of
words from reliable, authoritative sources such as dictionaries. These definitions help users
understand the meaning of a word in various contexts, including its nuances or specialized meanings.
2. Synonyms and Antonyms: Another important aspect is the provision of synonyms (words with
similar meanings) and antonyms (words with opposite meanings). This is particularly useful for writers
or learners of a language to expand vocabulary and enhance language fluency.
3. Pronunciation Assistance: The project may include an audio feature or phonetic representation to
help users learn how to pronounce words correctly, which is especially important for non-native
speakers.
4. Word Usage: Examples of the word used in sentences or phrases are crucial for users to understand
how the word functions in different contexts. This helps in distinguishing between different meanings
of the word and improves overall language comprehension.
5. Language Learning Support: For educational purposes, the project could be aimed at supporting
language learners by providing a comprehensive set of resources such as word lists, quizzes, or spaced
repetition techniques for better retention.
6. Database and Search Engine: A robust database of words and a fast, efficient search engine is
essential for the success of the project. The system should be able to return relevant results quickly,
even when the user enters partial information or makes minor spelling errors.
7. User Experience: The project should focus on creating a simple, intuitive interface that is easy to
use for people of all ages and technical abilities. Features like auto-complete, voice search, and mobile
compatibility might also be included to enhance accessibility.
8. Additional Features:
Etymology: Some advanced systems might also provide the etymology (origin) of words, giving users
insight into how the word has evolved over time.
Word of the Day: A feature that introduces users to new words every day, helping to broaden their
vocabulary.
Contextual Examples: Integrating a broader set of contexts (literary, business, academic, etc.) to show
how a word can be used across different settings.
The ultimate objective of a word lookup project is to enhance language understanding, improve
communication skills, and make it easier for users to access linguistic information in a convenient,
user-friendly way. This can be especially valuable in education, professional writing, translation, and
daily communication.

VREC CSE
WORD MEANING LOOKUP INTRODUCTION

• Multimedia Integration:
In some cases, the scope may include integrating images or videos to provide more context or clarify
the meaning of a word.
The problem statement for a Word Meaning Lookup Project identifies the core issue that the project
aims to solve, the target users, and the challenges it addresses. The following is an example of a
problem statement:
Problem Statement:
In today’s fast-paced world, effective communication is key to personal, academic, and professional
success. However, many individuals struggle to fully understand the meanings of words, their correct
usage, and how to pronounce them accurately, especially in a second language .While there are many
resources for word lookup, they often present information in a fragmented, difficult-to-navigate
manner, making it time-consuming and frustrating for users to find comprehensive word details.
Additionally, the lack of user-friendly and accessible tools that integrate pronunciation, synonyms,
antonyms, and example sentences creates a gap in the ability for individuals to improve their language
skills efficiently.
This project aims to address these challenges by creating an intuitive and comprehensive word lookup
tool that provides not only word definitions but also synonyms, antonyms, pronunciation, usage
examples, and etymology in a single, easy-to-use platform. The tool will cater to a diverse audience,
including language learners, writers, and professionals, who need quick, accurate, and context-rich
information for everyday communication, language study, and writing.
Key Problems Addressed:

• Fragmented Information: Existing word lookup tools often provide isolated pieces of
information, making it harder to get a complete understanding of a word.
• Inefficient Search: Current tools may not return results quickly or accurately, especially when
users make spelling errors or search for uncommon words.
• Lack of Pronunciation Guidance: Many lookup tools lack the ability to help users learn how to
pronounce words correctly, especially for non-native speakers.
• Limited Educational Support: Language learners often need additional features (such as
example sentences, quizzes, or synonyms) that are not widely available in basic dictionary
tools.
• Poor User Experience: Many existing systems are not optimized for ease of use across devices
or for people with varying technical skills.
By addressing these issues, the Word Meaning Lookup Project aims to create a solution that offers all
the essential linguistic features in one place, helping users to better understand, pronounce, and use
words in their daily communication.

WORD MEANING LOOKUP LITERATURE SURVEY

Chapter - 2
LITERATURE SURVEY
A comprehensive literature survey for a word lookup project explores existing research, technologies, and
methodologies used in the development of such tools. Word lookup systems have evolved from simple
dictionary applications to complex, AI-driven systems that provide more than just definitions. They integrate
Natural Language Processing (NLP), machine learning, advanced pronunciation features, and user-centric
design principles to improve the accessibility, functionality, and usability of word lookup tools. Below is a
deeper look into the relevant areas that inform the development of a word lookup project.

Dungarwal et al. [9] Proposed heuristic strategies for pair phrase retrieval. Enhanced English-to-telugu
translation using pre- and post-processing techniques to address structural differences. Och and Ney [10, 11]
Introduced symmetric heuristic strategies to improve alignment limitations in translation models using GIZA++.
Focused on integrating word mappings for robust translation models. Dutta Chowdhury et al. [12] Evaluated
multi-neural learning models for Telugu-English translation using synthetic datasets. Generated synthesized
and expansion datasets to improve training. Reddy and Hanumanth appa [13] (2017)

Developed a machine translation model for English to Kannada or Telugu using rule-based and dictionary
approaches. Emphasized maintaining semantic accuracy in translations. Lingam et al. [14] (2018)Proposed a
rule-based dynamic model for English-to-Telugu translation. Addressed the complexities in preposition
selection influenced by context, time, and other factors. Suryakanthi and Sharma [15] (2018)Focused on
discourse translation challenges, particularly in compound and complex phrases from English to Telugu.
Suggested algorithms for translating compound and difficult phrases. NMT for English-Telugu [16]
(2020)Highlighted the role of preprocessing in improving Neural Machine Translation (NMT) accuracy.
Addressed resource constraints in Telugu-English parallel corpus creation. Phrase-Based MT Model [17]
Applied phrase-based models for English-to-Telugu translation. Analyzed the effects of translation, sequencing,
and training configurations.

The development of a word lookup project involves integrating several advanced technologies and design
principles. From leveraging dictionary APIs to incorporating cutting-edge NLP techniques like BERT for
disambiguation, pronunciation features from TTS and CMU dictionaries, and robust UI/UX design, a successful
word lookup system goes beyond simple definitions to provide a rich, contextual, and user-friendly experience.
Additionally, incorporating educational features like spaced repetition and gamification further enhances the
value of the system, making it a powerful tool for language learners and anyone seeking to improve their
vocabulary. By drawing from a wide array of technologies, a word lookup project can provide an intuitive,
comprehensive, and engaging experience for its users.

3.1 Architecture

FIG.3.1 Architecture of proposed system

12
VREC CSE
WORD MEANING LOOKUP PROPOSED SYSTEM

• English sentence
Explaining a sentence by looking up each word's meaning is essentially breaking down the sentence
into individual words, defining each, and then putting it back together to understand the overall
meaning. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Identify Each Word: Break the sentence into its individual words.
2. Look Up Word Meanings: For each word, look up its dictionary meaning, considering its part of
speech (noun, verb, etc.) and possible definitions.
3. Consider Context: Words can have multiple meanings, so choose the definition that best fits the
sentence.
4. Reconstruct the Sentence: Using the meanings, rephrase or reconstruct the sentence to clarify its
overall meaning.

• Stanford parser
A Stanford Parser is a tool developed by the Stanford Natural Language Processing (NLP) group that
analyzes the structure of sentences. Let’s break down each word in its name and function:
1. Stanford: Refers to Stanford University, where this tool was developed.
2. Parser: In computer science, a parser is a program that analyzes the structure of text, breaking it
into parts to understand its grammatical structure. In language processing, this involves identifying
subjects, objects, verbs, and other parts of sentences.
So, a Stanford Parser is a tool made by Stanford University that helps in breaking down sentences
into grammatical components, which helps computers understand and analyze language structure.
It’s used in natural language processing to interpret and extract meaning from text.

• Reordering
Reordering means changing the order of items, elements, or steps in a sequence. It involves taking
an existing arrangement and organizing it differently, often to improve clarity, efficiency, or alignment
with certain rules.
Examples of Reordering:
1. In Language Processing: Changing the word order in a sentence to make it grammatically correct in
another language or to improve readability.
2. In Project Management: Adjusting the sequence of tasks in a project to optimize workflow or meet
deadlines.
3. In Data Organization: Sorting a list or data set in a different order, such as alphabetical,
chronological, or by priority.

13
VREC CSE
WORD MEANING LOOKUP PROPOSED SYSTEM

The purpose of reordering is often to make something more logical, efficient, or suitable for a specific
context

• Lexicalization
Lexicalization refers to the process by which a concept, idea, or combination of words becomes fixed
as a single unit or expression (a word or phrase) in a language. This happens when a sequence of
words or a concept evolves into a commonly used term or expression.
Key Points About Lexicalization:
1. From Phrase to Word: When multiple words or a phrase (like "kick the bucket") become understood
as a single, stand-alone term (meaning "to die"), it is considered lexicalization.
2. Fixed Meaning: The meaning of a lexicalized expression is often not entirely derived from its
individual parts. For instance, "break the ice" means to initiate a conversation, not literally to break
ice.
3. In Language Evolution: Over time, languages often undergo lexicalization, where new expressions
or words form, sometimes to describe new inventions, ideas, or cultural phenomena.
In computational linguistics, lexicalization is important because it helps in understanding how words
or phrases are stored and processed as units in language models.

• Transliteration
Transliteration is the process of converting text from one script or alphabet into another, while
attempting to preserve the original pronunciation as closely as possible. Unlike translation, which
focuses on meaning, transliteration deals with the sound of the words.
Key Aspects of Transliteration:
1. Sound-Based: Transliteration focuses on mapping sounds from one language's alphabet or script
into another. For example, the Hindi word "भारत" is transliterated into the Latin alphabet as "Bharat."

2. No Change in Meaning: The meaning of the word remains unchanged, but the way it is written
changes. For example, "Tokyo" in the Latin script is the transliteration of in Japanese kanji.
3. Different Systems: Different languages may have multiple systems for transliterating, especially
when moving from non-Latin scripts (like Arabic or Chinese) to Latin script.
Example:
The Russian name "Москва" (Moscow in English) is transliterated to "Moskva" using the Latin
alphabet.
Transliteration is commonly used for representing foreign names, places, or terms in a script that does
not have an equivalent.

• Morphological generation
Morphological generation is a process in computational linguistics and natural language processing
(NLP) where the system generates or forms words by applying rules of morphology, which govern
how words are constructed from smaller units like roots, prefixes, suffixes, and inflections.
Key Aspects of Morphological Generation:
1. Morphology: This refers to the structure of words and how they are formed from morphemes, the
smallest units of meaning. Morphemes can be:
Roots: The base form of a word (e.g., "walk").
Prefixes/Suffixes: Added to the root to change its meaning or grammatical role (e.g., "un-" in
"unhappy" or "-ed" in "walked").
Inflections: Changes in the word to indicate tense, number, case, etc. (e.g., "cat" to "cats," or "run" to
"ran").
2. Generation: In morphological generation, the task is to produce words based on these morphemes.
For example, given a verb "run," the system could generate different forms like "runs," "ran," or
"running," depending on the tense or subject.
3. Applications:
Inflecting Verbs: Generating all possible forms of a verb depending on tense, number, or person.
Pluralization: Creating plural forms of nouns (e.g., "child" → "children").
Derivational Morphology: Generating words that derive from others by adding prefixes or suffixes
(e.g., "happy" → "happiness").
Example:
Input: Root word "play"
Output: Generated words like "plays," "played," "playing."
In computational systems, morphological generation is used in tasks such as machine translation,
speech synthesis, and natural language understanding, helping a system generate grammatically
correct word forms based on input data.

• Telugu sentence
To explain a Telugu sentence, let's break it down into key components:
1. Word-by-Word Meaning: Just like in English, you can break down a Telugu sentence word by word.
Each word has its own meaning, and understanding them individually helps make sense of the
sentence as a whole.

15
VREC CSE
WORD MEANING LOOKUP PROPOSED SYSTEM

2. Grammar and Syntax: Telugu follows a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) sentence structure, which means
the verb typically comes at the end of the sentence, unlike English (SVO).
3. Verb Conjugation: Telugu verbs are conjugated based on tense, gender, and number. For instance,
the verb "తినడం" (Tiṇḍaṁ) means "to eat," and its form changes depending on the subject and tense.

4. Pronouns and Articles: Like in many languages, pronouns (I, you, he/she) and sometimes articles
(the, a) are used. Telugu does not use articles like "the" but has a system of honorifics for showing
respect.
Example:
Sentence: "ఆపిల్ తినడమే నాకు ఇష్ట ం" (Āpil tiṇḍamē nāku iṣṭam)

Word-by-word breakdown:
Translation: "I like eating apple."

Apple = ఆపిల్ (Āpil)

Eating = తినడమే (Tiṇḍamē)

To me = నాకు (Nāku)

Liking / Preference = ఇష్ట ం (Iṣṭam)

3.2 system design


Here's an architecture for a Word Meaning Lookup Project, which could be designed as a system to
retrieve word definitions, synonyms, and related data from a database or an external API. This
architecture assumes the project involves a user interface (UI) for querying word meanings and
leveraging a dictionary or thesaurus database.

• Frontend (User Interface Layer):


User Interface (UI):
A web or mobile app where users can type in words and receive definitions, synonyms, antonyms,
translations, etc.
Interactive elements like text input fields, buttons, dropdowns, and result display areas.
Can be developed using HTML, CSS, JavaScript (for web apps), or frameworks like React, Flutter (for
mobile).
Request Handling:
Sends HTTP requests to the backend to retrieve word meanings based on user input.
Can include auto-suggestions as the user types or displays history.

16
VREC CSE
WORD MEANING LOOKUP PROPOSED SYSTEM

• Backend (Server-Side Layer):


API Layer:
RESTful API or GraphQL to handle requests from the frontend.
Provides endpoints like /getMeaning/{word}, /getSynonyms/{word}, /getTranslation/{word}, etc.
Handles request validation, error handling, and response formatting.
Word Processing:
Preprocess the word (e.g., check for spelling errors, handle case sensitivity).
Can involve using NLP techniques to suggest more accurate meanings or synonyms based on
context.

• Data Layer (Database or External API):


Dictionary API / Database:
Use an existing dictionary or thesaurus API (e.g., Wordnik, Oxford Dictionary API, Merriam-Webster
API) or an in-house database.
If a database is used, it can be structured with tables for words, meanings, part-of-speech tags,
synonyms, antonyms, etc.
Example Data Model:
Word: The word itself.
Definition: The meaning of the word.
Synonyms: A list of related words.
Antonyms: A list of opposite words.
PartOfSpeech: Verb, Noun, Adjective, etc.
External APIs:
These APIs are queried to get updated and accurate word data.
Example: Wordnik API, Oxford Dictionary API, etc.
Parse the API responses and send them back to the frontend in the required format.

• Business Logic (Application Layer):


Word Lookup Logic:
Handles the core functionality of looking up a word’s meaning, synonyms, antonyms, etc.
Can include advanced features such as pronunciation, word origin, translations, and example
sentences.

If the word is not found in the dictionary, it might look for suggestions or alternative spellings.

• Error Handling & Logging:


Error Management:
Handle errors gracefully (e.g., if the word isn't found, show a friendly message).
Implement fallback mechanisms in case of API downtime or failure.
Logging:
Log user queries and server-side issues for monitoring and debugging purposes.

• Additional Features (Optional):


Machine Learning/NLP:
Use NLP models for context-based meaning lookup, especially for polysemous words.
Suggestions for related words, antonyms, and grammar-based corrections can be powered by ML
models.
Multi-language Support:
Add multi-language support if necessary, integrating translation APIs or building multi-language
dictionaries.

• Deployment & Scaling:


Web Hosting / Cloud Infrastructure:
Host the backend and frontend on cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure).
Use Docker and Kubernetes for scalable deployment.
Load Balancer:
Distribute incoming traffic across multiple instances to ensure high availability.
Example Flow of Interaction:
1. The user enters a word into the frontend UI (e.g., "happy").
2. The frontend sends a request to the backend API (GET /getMeaning/happy).
3. The backend checks if the word is cached. If not, it queries an external dictionary API or internal
database for the meaning.
4. The response, which includes the word’s meaning, synonyms, and part of speech, is returned to
the frontend.
5. The frontend displays the results in an easily understandable format.

IMPLEMENTATION
INTRODUCTION
In the current section, we come across what are the technologies or methods adopted in our project
to make a effective in which we can find the meaning of a word in paragraph by dividing the words
into tokens. We used technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and also an open-source CSS framework
We used the latest version of javascript to request an API called Backenster API .
Based on literature survey The code provided is structured as a JSON object. This is typically used
for data representation and transfer. The methodology here can be categorized as follows:
Data Representation: The JSON format is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for
humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. It effectively organizes data
into key-value pairs, making it suitable for representing structured information like dictionary entries.
Dictionary/Thesaurus Structure: The content resembles a bilingual dictionary or thesaurus, where
each word includes meanings, synonyms, and antonyms in both English and Telugu. This indicates a
methodology focused on linguistic data organization.
Descriptive Modeling: The approach used here is descriptive, as it provides detailed definitions and
associations for each word without any logic or procedural operations involved.
In summary, the methodology used here is primarily about data organization and representation,
suitable for applications like language processing, educational tools, or dictionaries.

4.1 METHODOLOGY
Approaches
In this methodology we approached our solutions by going through some one steps:
1. Creating an Interface
2. Dividing into tokens
3. Appending
1. Creating an Inference
In this step, we created an interface for users to interact and to enter the input as a paragraph. Based
on the user input, we request API and retrieve data from it using javascript, mainly async , await
functions.
2. Dividing into tokens
In this step, we worked on users. which focuses on the users giving data. After entering the paragraph
into search bar submit the paragraph by using submit button .Later, the words are divided into tokens
using Java Script .

without any logic or procedural operations involved.
3. Appending
In this step, we created the template for appending the word data onto the HTML page, we wrote
code in a JavaScript file to provide the user with data from the database and we also used CSS for
styling the page. Whenever we enter the paragraph into the search bar then word are divided into
tokens .Later we press the enter button it gives the output as word meaning in Telugu and Englisg.
4.Summary
We can observe the whole process from taking input to users and produce the word meaning as
output. The methodology used here is primarily about data organization and representation, suitable
for applications like language processing, educational tools, or dictionaries. The final output is provide
a word meaning .

4.2 IMPLEMENTATION

• Creating an Interface
We created a user interface using HTML script. Html code gives the basic structure. We created a
user interface using HTML script. Html code gives the basic structure.
This HTML code creates a "Word Meaning Lookup" webpage. It includes a text area for users to enter
a paragraph, a "Submit" button that triggers a JavaScript function (processText()), and an output area
to display word meanings. Styling is linked through an external CSS file (styles.css). When the button
is clicked, JavaScript (in script.js) will process the text and show definitions in the output area.

• Dividing into tokens


In this step, we worked on users. which focuses on the users giving data. After entering the paragraph
into search bar submit the paragraph by using submit button . Later, the words are divided into tokens
using Java Script.
This JavaScript code translates words from English to Telugu using an API. When the user enters text,
each word is processed, and the translation is displayed in a tooltip. Clicking on a word toggles the
tooltip showing both the English and Telugu meanings.

The code you've provided uses the Backenster API, specifically the translation endpoint for
translating words from English to Telugu. This code snippet demonstrates how to integrate with an
external translation API to enhance functionality in a web application, allowing for dynamic
translation of text based on user input.
A word meaning lookup project aims to accurately determine word meanings in context by using a
combination of linguistic and computational techniques. Core methods include dictionary-based
definitions, analyzing large text corpora for word patterns, and using word embeddings to capture
semantic relationships. Advanced language models (like BERT) provide context-based meanings,
while POS tagging clarifies word roles. Word sense disambiguation (WSD) techniques help
differentiate meanings of ambiguous words, and rule-based approaches offer tailored solutions for
specific domains. Together, these methods enhance understanding of words based on their usage,
leading to more accurate meaning lookup.

The version notation (^16.4.5) follows semantic versioning principles, which helps developers
understand the compatibility of updates. The caret (^) allows for updates that do not change the
leftmost non-zero digit in the version (e.g., it will accept any version from 16.4.5 up to, but not
including, 17.0.0).

Appending

RESULTS ANALYSIS
A word lookup project typically involves searching for and retrieving information about specific
words, such as their meanings, pronunciations, translations, or usage. The results of such a project
usually consist of the definitions and related details about each word, often gathered from
dictionaries, databases, or other linguistic resources.
In word meaning lookup backenster API was used.”Backenster” refers to a specific database or
tool(possibly a proprietary or niche system).Bilingual (English to Telugu) dictionary was used for this
project .The length of dictionary is 2 billion of word . we collected the dictionary from Google chrome.
The interface of result of web portal is shown below

Fig5.1 screenshot
After entering the text into the textbox the text and using submit button we submit the paragraph
into browser. Then text is divided into tokens .move the cursor into token then it produce the word
meanings in English and Telugu and also provides the synonyms and antonyms.
For example:
Word-by-word breakdown:
Translation: "I like eating apple."

Apple = ఆపిల్

Eating = తినడమే

To me= నాకు

Liking / Preference= ఇష్ం
