Palm OS Downloads

Version 1.0.3

The demo and paid versions of PlecoDict for Palm OS use the same set of data files; after you place your order, you receive a special "keyfile" that you can use to unlock PlecoDict on your Palm, but the rest of the software remains the same.

The instruction manual contains detailed instructions for installing PlecoDict to your Pocket PC. Use the Automated Install option if you're installing PlecoDict from a Windows system onto a recent Palm (one from the Tungsten, Zire, LifeDrive, Treo, T, or Z series). Use the Manual Install option if you're installing to an older-model Palm, or if you encounter problems with the Automated Install version. Unfortunately, the automated option is not available for Mac OS, because PalmSource hasn't yet released a Mac version of their installer utility.

Download the Basic or Complete/Professional version depending on which PlecoDict bundle you're interested in purchasing - if you're not sure, choose Complete/Professional. Update will only update your software if you're already using PlecoDict 1.0 or later; if you're upgrading from our older Oxford Dict software, see this page for instructions. If you download the current version (ppcomplete103 or ppox103), there's no need to install the update on top of that; all of the software on this page has already been updated, so just installing ppcomplete103 or ppox103 will be sufficient to give you the latest version.

If you encounter any problems during installation, contact us at support@pleco.com or consult our knowledge base or instruction manual for assistance. If the install takes more than an hour, see this page for instructions.

If you're installing our software from Windows Vista, make sure that you're using the latest version of Palm Desktop; it's available here.

To download the demo of our new "Cheng & Tsui English-Chinese Lexicon of Business Terms" add-on, visit our Add-on Files page. You can also visit that page to download our free flashcard lists and free add-on dictionaries.

Palm TX, Z22, and Treo 680/700p/755p Owners: if you received PlecoDict as a free upgrade from our older Oxford Dict software and encounter crashes or other weird behavior, see this page for an explanation and fix.

Mac Users: if you double-click on the Mac version and find that either nothing happens or an unrelated program (like a CD burner) launches, try dragging the downloaded file onto Stuffit Expander (should be in Applications / Utilities on your Mac's hard drive) - that should open the file.
