Editor's Opinion
Talking Dictionary - a smart and intuitive speech driven dictionary; includes features aimed at helping the visual impaired get access to information quickly and comprehensively.
Editor's Description
Dictionary applications are designed to help users improve writing skill, vocabulary and reading comprehension. They ultimately enhance the way we communicate with our peers. Dictionaries will provide word definitions based on searches but the method of output may differ from program to program.

What is Talking Dictionary ?



Talking Dictionary is an application designed to help the visual impaired users look up word definitions, synonyms in a comprehensive and intuitive and customizable environment. Its unique ability is to read out all output. Talking Dictionary contains 250,000 words with multiple keyboard shortcuts enabled to provide quick and easy access.

The application includes a wide range of features including a spell checker and the ability to quickly scroll through various word definitions and synonyms.

Main Features



The latest version of the program has been updated with over 8500 new word definitions and synonyms making it a complete word database. Conveniently, it is able to work from within multiple Windows built-in applications like Microsoft Word and Notepad.

Talking Dictionary will sit unobtrusively minimized in the system tray; you can do so by accessing the Hide function from the program's toolbar.

Talking Dictionary allows users to browse the content of the database word for word; all you have to do is press the Browse button.

The application handles all resolution settings whether small or big making it suitable for a large array of users. Add

Add annotations to any word entry opened in Talking Dictionary. The field is accessible in the bottom part of the interface.

Talking Dictionary prompts you to enter a password the first time you run it, thus restricting usage.

The built-in spell checker will certainly help users make less mistakes while writing text.

Talking Dictionary includes a rather advanced way of searching for words with the help of the crossword function. It can be used by typing asterisk signs for each missing letter. (Example: Le**er will output multiple close words such as leader, letter and so on).

An interesting feature directly aimed at users with visual impairment is the ability to increase and decrease font size used in the program.

Talking Dictionary can work hand in hand with another screen reader of your choice. It includes a choice of three voices at a custom set speed. More voices are included on the CD version. Talking Dictionary mimics the behaviour of a screen reader by reading the name of each control under focus.

The utility provides in detailed documentation as well as instructions packed in an MP3 file.

Overview



Talking Dictionary is mainly aimed at people experiencing visual difficulties in reading but can be used by anyone in search of a basic dictionary / synonym software. The application provides an intelligent and comprehensive way of looking up words as well as displaying the output. Speech is easily customizable in terms of voice and speed.

All of the above written are just a few of Talking Dictionary's abilities. You can give it try for 30 days before buying this product. Note that it works for XP, Vista and 7 Windows powered systems.
