  Dictionaries on CDThe words are spoken on many talking dictionaries on CD. You no longer have to only use pronunciation symbols to try to figure out how the word is pronounced. The Collins Cobuild for PC or MAC (Macintosh) even pronounces the various forms of the word in British English. The Cobuild also lets a user record his pronunciation and compare it with the one on the CD. The Oxford Concise English Dictionary 11th edition pronounces British English. The Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary is a good advanced English Dictionary that pronounces the words in American English.
The Cambridge International Dictionary of English (CD-ROM pronounces English words in British and American English. The Collins Talking Bilingual pronounces the words in both languages and lets you record your pronunciation so you can compare.
Computerized dictionaries make it easier and faster to look up words. You may find yourself looking up words more often and gaining a better understanding of English.
With most dictionaries on CD, you can click on a word you do not understand within a definition, and get that word's definitions. This is helpful. Then you can easily go back to earlier words you looked up.
All dictionaries are not the same. We try to provide you with a large selection of quality dictionaries so you can select one that is best for you.
No dictionary is perfect! One may be easier for you to understand in general and therefore becomes your usual dictionary, but then one day, it seems to be missing that exact meaning you need. Then you should consult another dictionary. It is best to have several dictionaries installed on your computer, so you can consult several dictionaries in just seconds. That way, you can consult several dictionaries in seconds -- whenever you feel there might be a missing, unclear, or incorrect definition.
Try this when you can not remember a word or how to spell a word!
On many computerized dictionaries you can search through all the words in all the definitions in seconds. For example I could not remember the word for a food dish made with sesame seeds, so I searched through all the definitions for the words "sesame seeds". Instantly, I had the word I was looking for, "Tahini". This also works, when you can not remember how to spell a word!
