Are you looking to write a program, or a plugin to a word processor or web browser, or... something else?

im trying to write a program that can have a menu for Dictonary and thesauaus etc. then it has a text box input that instantly refers to a database from oxford dictionary.com or something and it needs to be offline because ill be taking it around places with no internet (or i have no idea what the wifi password is)

You'll need to find a dictionary to use first. When you find one you can decide how to proceed depending on the format it's in. I'd say running a local web server and building a homepage with the desired functionality would look nice (and save a lot of time in gui development), but building a command line interface may be a lot simpler.

Two possible sources of data are Project Gutenburg though the dictionaries will be older ones and Wordnet from Princeton https://wordnet.princeton.edu.
You may be able to extract the data from these PDFs though https://www.easypacelearning.com/englis ... oad-in-pdf but I would expect then to be compressed. You may want to try printing them out to a file and reformat that somehow...
Good luck.
