Okawix – First Tool to Access Wikipedia Offline




This is a software which allows you to access the Wikipedia content even when you do not have an internet connection. However you need to download the database available online. These databases contain the information stored on the main site. You can also select the language in which you want it to appear. Once you get this downloaded, it will be like experiencing Wikipedia as offline. However you will not be able to access any account and other web features. Over the past few years, it has been upgraded to work on various devices such as Android, Windows, Mac and Linux.


WikiTaxi – Second Tool to Access Wikipedia Offline


It stores the compressed version of the pages automatically on your storage device. However you can get access to only the English section of the website. Once you start using this, you do not need to use the net at all.This is available for the Windows OS only.

BZ Reader – Third Tool to Access Wikipedia Offline

 

  This tool accesses the compressed dump files to retrieve the information. Using the uncompressed dumps would occupy a lot of hard disk space. You can open a dump file and then easily browse through it. You can search contents by category or by heading. There is a window to the left where you have to enter your search. To get this working, access the Wikipedia dump. Open it using the BZ Reader. It will take time based on the dump file. Once it’s loaded, search whatever you need.

WikiSlice – Fourth Tool to Access Wikipedia Offline

  
 The function of the application lies in its name itself. It gives you access to any particular part of information from Wikipedia.
