Are you looking for a service which you can use to generate, say, popups/tooltips above marked words? Are you looking for English or for other languages? You might the following of interest:

www.wordreference.com - multilingual dictionary with downloadable browser and smartphone widgets
http://www.wordnik.com/
http://www.onelook.com/
http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/

Those are starters for ten - I could likely help more if I know what your specs are. I used to work in languages...
