With regard to the smartphone versions, the Windows version allows for multiple concurrent texts, fast hovering, and words and characters shown together in separate lists.

After 15 years, DDB Access needed a full rewrite to offer a modern look and feel, and facilitate maintenance and further improvements.

If reduced to a narrow window, DDB Access now shows in a smartphone-like format side by side with the original text.

The same version is now published on Microsoft Store and its SL (Side Loaded) version with the link below. Both versions receive the same updates.

The store version allows for automatic installation and updates but its presence cannot be guaranteed in the medium term.

With the SL version below, updates are slightly less comfortable, but the application can be (re)installed later on the same machine or another one even if publication is discontinued.

Frequent users: prefer the SL version, keep a copy of the installation file.

- Dictionaries updated.
- Bug fixes.
