Fran is a dictionary portal offered by the Institute of Slovenian Language Frana Ramovša ZRC SAZU. It provides users with essential language handbooks for the Slovenian language. With Fran, searching through the handbooks is quick, simple, and free of charge. Whether you're looking for the meaning of a word in SSKJ or eSSKJ, information on spelling from Pravopis or ePravopis, synonyms, idioms, collocations, or even new Slovenian words, Fran has got you covered.

One of the standout features of Fran is the ability to search simultaneously through all the handbooks, selected handbooks, or just one specific handbook. It offers over 35 dictionaries, a language atlas, language and terminology advisory service, Slovenian grammar and spelling portal, and other collections.

Fran is designed to be user-friendly, and no prior knowledge is required to use the portal. It intelligently organizes the search results from the handbooks and helps with their interpretation. The search results complement each other and provide insights into the characteristics and usage of each word from various perspectives.

Fran is an interactive platform where users can suggest the inclusion of new words, vote for them, ask language advisors for advice, or propose additions and corrections to existing dictionary entries.

Fran is constantly growing, as it is updated annually with new language content.
