A Telegram bot that provides the meaning, example, and pronunciation of words.
Lexically Bot is a Telegram bot that allows you to look up the definition of a word and get additional information such as an example sentence and computer-generated pronunciation. It uses the Dictionary API to retrieve the word definitions and gTTS (Google Text-to-Speech) to generate the pronunciation.
To use the bot, simply send it a message with the word you want to look up. The bot will respond with the definition, example sentence, and a link to a sound file with the pronunciation.
To use Lexically Bot, you need:
- A Telegram account and the Telegram app installed on your phone or computer.
- An API key for the Dictionary API. You can sign up for a free trial at dictionaryapi.com.
