Talking Dictionary is a speech enabled 250,000 word English
dictionary and thesaurus. Like all the talking software products
on this site, Talking Dictionary has been designed for use by the
non sighted person. All of the controls are easily remembered keyboard
shortcuts and it is a very fast and easy program to use.
Talking Dictionary is designed to be used as a stand alone program.
What this means is that you do not need any kind of screen reading
software or anything else to use this program.
Your PC must run Windows 95
or greater and you must have a soundcard or speakers. Talking Dictionary
has been tested on Windows 95, 98, 98SE, Windows 2000 and Windows
XP.
Talking Dictionary has many
outstanding features, such as a powerful spell checker and the ability
to quickly scroll through various word definitions and synonyms.
The dictionary also comes complete
with a "getting started" tutorial which gives you examples
of using the dictionary. Comprehensive help is also built into the
product.
