What is the Ultimate Talking Dictionary? 

The Ultimate Talking Dictionary (UTD), first and foremost, is a comprehensive dictionary. However, this is not a regular dictionary; it has a few features that may surprise you. The UTD will read the definition of a word to you and it will use the word in a sentence so that you will get a true understanding of the word. The dictionary that comes with the UTD contains over 250,000 words, including slang, jargon, and historic figures such as George Washington. The UTD also has a fully integrated thesaurus for referencing synonyms and antonyms of all words. 

250,000 words: The UTD comes with a standard, unabridged dictionary that contains over 250,000 words. When a word definition is provided, it is always accompanied by a sentence using the word in context for each sense/meaning of the word. It even shows you the form of the word (i.e., noun, verb, adjective, etc.). The definitions are clearly written so that they can be understood by all age groups.

Hot Key Word Lookup: Definitions are only a key press away. The UTD will work with virtually any program. To look up a word, all you have to do is highlight it in your current application (i.e., e-mail, word processing, Internet), press the F11 key and almost instantly, you have the definition of the word being read to you. You can setup the UTD so that it automatically reads a definition to you. You now have access to a dictionary that does not require you to stop what you are doing just to go elsewhere to lookup the meaning/synonyms/antonyms of a word. This works great while surfing the Internet. Just highlight the word and press the F11 key. It is that simple.

Reading: The UTD will read the definitions to you so that you can hear the meaning of a word, as well as how to use it in a sentence. It can also highlight the word on the screen as it reads. Both the “synonym” list and the “word prediction” list speak, so all you need to do is click on a word and it will be read to you.

Power search: If you do not know how to spell a word, but know part of the word, you can do a “power search.” A “power search” will provide a list of all the words that contain that sequence of letters. Listen to the list and when you hear the one you want, simply click on it to select and hear it read to you.

Thesaurus: Until now, dictionaries and thesauruses have almost always been separate books/documents … not with the UTD. The UTD has a built-in thesaurus that will automatically look up alternative words, “synonyms” and "antonyms" every time you search a word. If you want to hear a definition of a synonym, just double-click it.

Spelling: Have you ever tried to look up a word, but couldn’t find it because you misspelled it? The UTD takes care of that for you. If you misspell a word, the UTD will “predict” the word you are trying to spell and present you with a list of potential matches to the word you are looking for. Once you “select” the one you want from the list of possible matches, the UTD will read the word you have selected to you, so you can be sure that that indeed is the word you want. The UTD will then retrieve and display the definition to you.
