Can skritter be used like a dictionary where we can type in the pinyin or a character and get the answer?

If you are making a list, using the scratchpad input area, or adding words to the queue, it will do this. It can't search based on a definition, though.

You can also search just within the words you've added to My Words on the My Words page.

Generally, though, I use online Chinese-English dictionaries like MDBG and nciku, which can do much more flexible lookups. Just curious: why do you ask?
