Oxford Dictionary of English Second Edition 2.2 Review      

February 3rd, 2008

The Oxford Dictionary of English, Second Edition is now available as a 20mb download. It is free to try and will cost you $59 to purchase. The free trial is only for 10 days. The system requirements are Windows NT/2000/XP.

This software has been produced by iFinger which has been creating interactive products which can be had as direct downloads. Some of the worlds most famous publishing houses have been collaborated with by iFinger for it’s software.

Both online as well as offline searches can be done. In addition manually entering text searches is possible. 355,000 words, definitions and phrases used in Modern English are covered in this software.

If you want to look up a word quickly as you browse the web, you will find this Oxford Dictionary very useful. All you have to do to check a word is double click it. Before you begin using this software, iFinger needs to be installed and this is time consuming. The search bar instals into any Windows app.

If you want to lookup fast, this software is useful since the most common meanings come up initially followed by more detailed information. The dictionary base can be expanded, word by word or by importing text files. I recommend this dictionary to surfers even if they own the printed version.
