Background Information

Kirrkirr was built as a university research project, beginning at the University of Sydney. The inspiration of this research is to create an on-line dictionary that:

• Does more than most dictionary programs which simply search and give youplain entries. The system should be interesting, and take advantage of current technology to give the user a fun experience that includes animated words, sounds and pictures.
• Exposes users to other words in the dictionary in a similar way to a paper dictionary that lets you see the words with similar spelling near the word you're looking for. With this system, you see words that are actually related to the word you're looking for.
