boQwI' (Klingon language)

tlhIngan Hol boQwI' / Klingon Language Assistant is a lexicon dictionary, canon search tool, and grammar analyser for the Klingon language ({tlhIngan Hol}) devised by Marc Okrand for Star Trek's warrior race, and spoken by characters on The Big Bang Theory. It can parse Klingon grammar and serve as an aid in Klingon-to-English translation. However, it is NOT a general-purpose English-to-Klingon translator. You will need to know some Klingon already to make use of it for that purpose.
Note: "Draw over other apps" permission is required for float mode, which allows boQwI' to appear as a small window over another app (such as an email program or an ebook reader). To hear the sounds of Klingon, it is recommended to install the Klingon Text-To-Speech Engine.

If you encounter any problems, or have any suggestions, there is a link to send me email directly from the menu under "Help".

This project is open sourced: http://github.com/De7vID/klingon-assistant/

Please support the Klingon language by purchasing "The Klingon Dictionary", "Klingon for the Galactic Traveler", "The Klingon Way", "Conversational Klingon", "Power Klingon", and other Klingon
- and Star Trek-related products from Pocket Books, Simon & Schuster, and Paramount/Viacom/CBS Entertainment.

Worked great when I first got it, but not anymore. When I try to select any of the collection options, like curses or jokes, I get "no results found for <*>" Same thing happens when I try to search for a specific word, or even access the app through the word of the day notification. *Update Developers got back to me, and it works wonderfully now. Great app!

This app is a literal must-have for learners of Klingon. It's got a very useable interface (woth lots of customisable options such as pIqaD and xifan hol typing) and a full and accurate dictionary (that updates within days of new words for the qep'a'), along with usage examples, and links between related bits of vocab, which can be super helpful in naturally expanding your vocabulary. I could not recommend it more!

Great app. The perfect companion to Okrand's books. One problem with it tough.. It looses its connection to the text to speech program now and again. Then I have to reinstall it.

I got this for the complete and up to date dictionary, but the analysis tool is super useful as well! The interface is very user friendly.

This one is actually useful. I can share with Google Translate pretty easily and do a cut & paste. This one might be a keeper.

This is without a doubt the best and most useful app for Klingon ever. I cannot recommend it high enough. I've never had a serious issue in my 2 years of using it

Eri. J. Mar 22, 2022     

Great, but we are due for an update with the latest vocabulary additions.

Ben. B. Oct 16, 2019     

Such a powerful little app with all the updated Klingon words and phrases. Also and to display entries in pIqaD.

Drg. k. Sep 17, 2021     

It only seems to work after I look up the word via online dictionary that is not connected to this app.

Ali. J. Oct 4, 2019     

I rated the speech engine too, but I'll say it here, this is amazing! I'm learning! Qapla!

Not. S. Nov 6, 2021     

I just want to report a bug: the word ngov (to slither) cannot be pronounced. Otherwise keep the good job. Qapla'!

Amb. M. Feb 4, 2019

You can tell that the dev really has a passion for the lang and wants to get it out there for others. He also works hard to keep it up-to-date as the language develops.

Sucked

It is a great app to help you learn Klingon. I just wanna add one new word. [tInqam] combines tIn "big" and qam "foot" so I can reference to Bigfoot, the legendary ape man, in Klingon.

Great app. Works on 4.4.4. Works completely offline.

No ability to save or favorite words

boQwI' is an excellent tool for Klingon fans who are interested in learning the language. I have both The Klingon Dictionary and Klingon for the Galactic Traveler. I have followed with interest the Klingon Language Institute and purchased it's publication of Hamlet in its original format in the Klingon language. This app is fun, provides useful features and links. I am well pleased with it.

Tra. K. Apr 9, 2018     

Great app, but missing one crucial feature. It needs a toggle that hides words from non-canon sources. Anything other than Okrand books and shows/movies is debatable in its authenticity and should be something we can turn off if we wish.

It is a very good tool to learn Klingon. It comes with every definition, even the ones of compound nouns or even full sentences, and it tells you their pronunciation.

Bre. L. Feb 4, 2018     

Its helping me alot with my Klingon pronunciation. Love this app, So useful!
