Software Summary: A smart dictionary software with a database of 400,000 words that provides bi-directional translations, instant back translations, and features like Quick Search, Vector Ultima spell-checker, and MorphoFinder for easy searching.
If you're looking for a comprehensive language tool for your Palm OS device, LingvoSoft Talking Dictionary English German is definitely worth checking out. One of its standout features is its bidirectional translation capabilities, allowing you to seamlessly switch between English and German translations of words to suit your needs. Additionally, the software comes equipped with speech synthesis capabilities, so you can have your device read any word aloud with the touch of a button.
What makes LingvoSoft's speech synthesizer unique is how it creates a human voice simulation by modelling the sounds of natural language, using a formant synthesis approach. With a database of 400,000 words and phrases, each entry comes complete with part of speech information and several translation options for all polysemantic words. The result is an extensive resource that's easy to use and highly flexible.
The software offers a range of features that make it even more user-friendly. For instance, the MorphoFinder function helps you find source words for English past participles, gerunds, plural forms, and adjective forms. Meanwhile, the spell-checker Vector Ultima allows you to enter a word as you hear it and choose a spelling option from the list of suggestions. High Resolution support is also included.
You'll find that navigating the software is straightforward thanks to the Main List, which provides an overview of all dictionary entries, and the Translations' List, which displays all possible translations of the selected word. There's also a quick back translation feature for proof of correct understanding, and a quick search tool that displays words starting with the letter combinations you've typed in the Input Line. Finally, switching between languages is a breeze thanks to the pop-up trigger in the upper right corner of the interface.
