RAEUtil (formerly known as DraeUtil) brings you the fastest and most complete access to Royal Spanish Academy Dictionary and to Panhispanic Dictionary of Doubts.

RAEUtil inherits all the former features from DraeUtil, therefore you can keep looking up words using any of its four different search options, fully navigate through any link or word found in the definition- just by single or double clicking, respectively-, change the visualization font size or change the window dimensions, among other characteristics.

Great little widget for accessing the official Spanish Dictionary... I have been using it for years.

Doesn't work in Lion :(

Ok, this is a must tool for any Spanish speaking person.

It connects to the Real Academia de la Lengua Española, the authoritative body that regulates the Spanish language.

This is a widget, but they also have an iPhone/iPod touch app.

Brilliantly well done.

Very useful for me, I live in Mexico and while I can speak Spanish reasonably well, I am still learning.

UI issues have been corrected from what I can tell. If you write, speak, or even study Spanish, this widget is a must have. I use it all the time. Great definitions from a trustworthy source in a way that is easy to get.

Much improved; congratulations!! The ability to resize was working when I first installed it on Leopard, but when I looked up the second word, the size box disappeared and I can just scroll. After several words with long definitions, the size box hasn't come back.

Check out version 2.01! I have fixed the bug you have found in the latter version.

Thank for your feedback!

Fabulous way to get definitions of Spanish words, and from a source which can't be beat. Widget works great; they've fixed the issues I had with it. If you speak or write in Spanish, this is a must!

Sensacional widget imprescindible para todos los que escribimos en español. DraeÚtil pone todas las entradas del Diccionerio de la Real Academia de la Lengua Española a un click.

Una pasada!!!!

Very good. Needs to allow the definition window to be resized. Scrolling is somewhat a pain just because the definition area is too small.

Voy a probar DraeÚtil 1.1 después de conseguirlo, pero pido que los dos autores lean la descripción LENTAMENTE y CUUDADOSAMENTE. Hay varios errores con el deletreo de las palabras.

Por ejemplo, "también", "artículos", y otros se escriben sin la indicación de lo tónico. Además, la palabra "Española" contiene la "ñ". No he tratado de leer toda la descripción; entonces puede ser que hay otros muchos ejemplos de estos errores.

Espero que el contenido de DraeÚtil sea un producto mejor hecho.

De todos modos, se lo agradezco.

Muchas gracias Charles por tu aportación a la corrección del texto de la Web del programa. Se trata, obviamente, de "lapsus calami"- que en breve subsanaremos- de los cuales nadie está exento de librarse, por muy "cuidadosamente" que escriba. ;)
