Robert Collins English Talking Dictionary

This software will be helpful for anyone who needs to use the English language - professional and business users who need it at work as well as schoolchildren and students for their studies. Now you can have the highest quality dictionary always on hand for checking the spelling, meanings and pronunciation of the word you need.

The English Talking Dictionary includes an electronic version of the explanatory Collins English dictionary and digital sound bases for all headwords. The dictionary has over 68,000 references. The software includes crosswords - the traditional and ever-popular pastime - which are built up automatically, using the database of the dictionary. For English language learners we have developed a set of computer-based learning excercises - the Shooting Gallery and AudioPad.

The electronic version of the dictionary has the same content as its paper counterpart, but is 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 dictionary is fully cross-referenced, i.e. by clicking on any word in the explanation section you can see the definition of this word and then easily revert to the original 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.

There are 3 modes for the crosswords according to level of difficulty:

  • Learning mode. This is the simplest option. It is designed for those who have just started learning the language. In this mode you can first look through and memorise the words which appear in the crossword.
  • Normal mode. This is a more difficult mode. It is designed for those students who need to extend and refresh their existing vocabulary. In this mode you guess each word from all the definitions of that word.
  • Difficult mode. This is the most difficult mode. It is designed for those who are aiming for fluency in the language. In this mode you guess each word from only one of its definitions.
  • Learning Exercises
  • The English Talking Dictionary is designed for both work and study, for people who have just started learning English as a foreign language as well as for schoolchildren and students for whom English is their native tongue. The most important aim for language learners is to increase vocabulary and practise spelling and pronunciation. For this we have developed a set of computer-based learning exercises.

    You do these exercises in a group of students (a group can consist of 1 to 12 people). The list of students is sorted numerically by score. Opposite each name on the list there is a pictogram with a face whose expression indicates the current position of the student. Thus the learning process becomes a competition in which every student tries to get as high a score as possible to come top of the list.
