LingvoSoft Talking Dictionary 2008 English <-> Persian for Windows is one portion of a whole language learning and translation tool for the computer. That whole tool we are making reference to is the LingvoSoft Dictionary 2008. Each portion works with two languages at a time, although if you wish you can acquire the whole tool. When the dictionary is installed on your desktop or laptop PC it translates words from one language to the other in the direction you choose. LingvoSoft Dictionary 2008 for Windows is completely integrated with LingvoSoft FlashCards and LingvoSoft PhraseBook, additional language resources and applications created by the same developer. You will be able to simply choose and export words from the dictionary to the FlashCards database or find phrases containing the word in PhraseBook.
As its name indicates, this is a talking dictionary. This means that will be hearing the correct pronunciation of words, pronounced by native and expert speakers of the given language. This great feature is available on the toolbar located on the top of the window so it won’t take time or effort to get the pronunciation at any time. The trial version, available to download for free from the developer’s site on Internet, comes with no time-to-use limitation. If you are asking yourself what’s the deal, here’s the answer. The trial has a functional limitation. The amount of words available to translate and hear is restricted to the 10% of the full database.
