How to look up a dictionary with a mobile phone?

Mobile phones also have a killer application: encyclopedias and dictionaries. Although some dictionaries are very easy to use, they are not only illustrated and explained in detail, but also not as convenient to carry as mobile phones with you. At present, as far as I know, SmartGenie is a well-known lexicographic program in smart phone programs, and dictionaries abroad are lexicography and WordBook, both of which are very detailed and easy to use. Please continue reading the following article to decide which font is more suitable for you!

Lexical dictionary

Next, we should enter a more professional field, that is, the Ying Ying Dictionary which can be used on smart phones now. First of all, we should introduce Lextionary and encyclopedia software. You can download the trial version of Lextionary from his website, because it is a trial version, so you can only look for words randomly from the font.

Why an encyclopedia? Because in addition to the function of the dictionary, many new words (such as computer cache), or some names, places and allusions are recorded in this dictionary. For example, you can find the topcoat below. But you can't find it in Gurunet, Nkhata, let alone Collins Coburg. Lextionary actually does. This is amazing. I can't help wondering if this word really exists.

▲lexitionary can always find some strange words.

Nouns, verbs and other parts of speech are clearly marked.

He has some special functions, such as seeing many arrows up, down, left and right and squares on the left? For example, I look for the word Lotteries, and then click the down arrow ▼ to find the words that are lottery tickets, such as tombola and lucky dip (both lottery tickets ~ I can't play).

And his >> and> you can find the landing site and so on, and

If you can't pronounce a word, he also has a phonetic symbol to show you. His phonetic symbol belongs to the phonetic symbol of natural pronunciation.

▲ Phonetic symbols of natural pronunciation

He can also find some proper nouns and allusions, which are only available in encyclopedic dictionaries!

▲ are some nouns I haven't seen.

There is a good function: you can use @ or? For example, I forgot whether the word money is spelling money or money (this is an exaggerated example), so I can type money? Find the word you want. This? Or @ doesn't have to be at the end of the word! You can also use the number keys to turn pages, such as 4 up and 7 down.

In a word, this software is a very practical dictionary program with complete fonts and functions, and it is also quite convenient to input with T9 English input method on mobile phones. If you need a English-English dictionary program with many fonts, you may think this is your portable reference book.

Advantages: rich fonts, ability to find this information, and many convenient related word functions.

You can download the use version of WordBook, the main program file inside is very small, and it is divided into two parts when installing, but its font wordnet.wbd should be thrown into the \ memory card \ My Documents folder.

▲ The font wordnet.wbd should be put in the \ memory card \ My Documents folder.

One of the characteristics of WordBook is that it can record the searched words or add them to my collection or reading list. These functions are very practical for English learners.

▲ Add words to my favorite or reading list.

One thing is very strange, that is, there are 2~6 shortcut keys next to it. In the author's test, these numeric keys are only useful when looking up words. Otherwise, they cannot be pressed. In addition, the interactive links of WordBook are also well done, and it is easy to find synonyms and antonyms. There are also good examples, such as "He told a very funny joke" (instead of "He told a ……"), and so on. Understand the usage of words.

Most importantly, his words are very colorful.

It also has some special fonts, such as GRE, which can help people who take English exams.

If lexicography is suitable for people who already know a lot about English words, look up some proper nouns he doesn't know or find some replacement words, then WordBook is suitable for students who want to improve their English ability with dictionaries.

Advantages: easy to cross-link, can record the checked text, and the text color is clear.
