LingvoSoft Dictionary Free is a talking dictionary with a 19,000 word database offered at no cost. It has similar functions to the commercial versions.
I recently had the chance to use the LingvoSoft Free Talking Dictionary for Pocket PC and I have to say, I was quite impressed. This software offers two-way word translation and synthesis of English speech, which was the main reason I wanted to try it out.
The new Talking Dictionaries for Pocket PC from LingvoSoft run smoothly on most recent Pocket PC platforms and also feature updated lexical databases. I was thrilled to discover that the software now supports screen rotation in Windows Mobile 2003 SE, and that virtual keyboards are available to display European diacritics on devices with a non-European ROM.
Features of the LingvoSoft Free Talking Dictionary for Pocket PC are quite extensive: It offers pronunciation and transcription for all listed English words, and the MorphoFinder function helps you find source words for English past participles, gerunds, plural forms and adjective forms. Advanced searching with consideration of diacritical signs and ligatures, quick reverse translation for proof of correct understanding, and a quick search function are all available.
The Translations List displays all translations for a selected word, and the filtered list stores selected words for easy access. While this dictionary may have a light word database, the functional aspects are completely the same as those in commercial versions, yet this dictionary is more concise and takes up little space.
Overall, I would highly recommend the LingvoSoft Free Talking Dictionary for Pocket PC. Registration is free, and with all the features it has to offer, this is a must-have software for anyone who needs translation on-the-go.
