TIP allows Web developers to automatically hyperlinks every static word on a web page to the Wordarch.com Dictionary or other online references of choice without changing the appearance of the text. Readers only need to click on any word and the definition pops up in a new window, creating minimal distraction and faster results. Additionally, every word in the Wordarch.com Dictionary is linked back to the dictionary for additional clarification with the click of the mouse. By TIPing online readings there is no need to consult a paper dictionary or launch additional software or outside pages in order to seek out a definition. It’s seamless integration at its best.
