This software will be helpful for anyone who needs to use a foreign language - students from beginner to advanced level, as well as professional and business users who need it at work. Now you can have the highest quality bilingual dictionary always to hand. The dictionary comes with a set of tools for speedy and accurate translation of any text on your computer. The Talking Dictionaries include electronic versions of Collins bilingual dictionaries and digital sound bases for all headwords. Each dictionary has over 80,000 words and phrases and more than 120,000 translations.

The electronic versions of the dictionaries have the same content as their paper counterparts, but are much easier to use. All short forms and abbreviations used in the dictionary are explained in full in the pop-up prompts when the cursor is positioned on them. All the headwords in the dictionary are spoken by professional native speakers. This enables you not only to see the meaning of a word but also to listen to all the correct pronunciations of the word and even to practice your own pronunciation with the help of the AudioPad. The dictionaries are fully cross-referenced, i.e. by clicking on any word in the translation section you can see the definition or back translation of this word and then easily revert to the original translation section. It also includes a quick search facility. To find a particular word you only need to start typing the word in the quick search field. As each new letter is entered the program automatically looks for the first most likely word and this will appear in the dictionary area. This allows you to find the required word quickly from the first few letters without having to enter the whole word.
