About

Dicionário Bot is a bot for Telegram that gives you the Brazilian Portuguese dictionary directly in the app. Look up definitions (including definition per parts of speech, syllable breakdown and etymology), synonyms, and usage examples for any word.

You can use it in private conversations, invoke it inline in any chat by typing @dicionariobot, or add it to groups to automatically correct common spelling mistakes.

Dicionário Bot also offers shortcuts so you don't need to type a command every time and customizable search engines as a fallback when a word isn't found.
