Dictionary to work on IPAQ 111? I am very interested in buying an IPAQ 111. However, I wanted to know if there are any dictionary softwares out there that I can get that will work with it.

Wouldn't the word dictionary work? There's a number of additional software packages out there, but generally they don't offer anything really special in content. They usually only add an interface.Bottom line, have you tried pocket Word on this device yet? If you preview it at a retailer, you can generally test out the apps. Word has a dictionary integrated, though I'm not positive if it is slimmed down for this PDA pocket version.

Try WordNetCD Dictionary. It's a freeware dictionary.Also, there's a Webster dictionary included in Pocket eSword. Also freeware.

Pocket Word (for Mobile Devices) is very streamlined. It doesn't have many of the convenience features of the standard issue. I installed Encarta dictionary years ago and merely copy it to my newer Pocket PC's. It is only usable in Microsoft Reader application, however. It's nice reading a book in MS Reader and merely click on a word to get the definition. It's possible that Encarta will be discontinued after the initial post.

This one is English-English, English-Spanish, Spanish-English dictionary, not a translator. You can put only one searching word for this, like other dictionaries, not a phrase. Still if you search a word, it will show up lots of phrases and sentences using that word. This one speaks both English and Spanish words even some of the words don't speak. If you have plenty of time to learn, it will be helpful. If you would be in a hurry searching for a right translation at a given moment, this one will be little frustrating.

I run out of the Main Outs into my Lexicon Alpha USB Interface. I have had multiple boards with USB cards built in but they all really suck as USB Sound Interfaces. Love the way the Lexicon Alpha works and the recorded sound it sooooo much better. That is my solution. Even you can get the Alpha pretty cheap and it will far out perform build in USB interfaces.

Ernie...........this computer sent it before I was finished. The one I had before, it did not unscramble words. You have to be able to pronounce the wordphonetically and the Speller will bring the sound alike word on the screen. Is it worth it? Franklin is a good brand as far as I know. I would buy and try itfor the small fee it cost at this time and work to be able to use it comfortably. Take care~~~

Basically, you get a search function on a set of dictionaries that you can choose from. I can't remember if you can type phrases, but you can type words.

As one reviewer said, these is a "legacy" interface, so I'd have doubts it would work with an IPad. It worked OK for me on Windows 7, but when I got a new Windows 8.1 laptop, it wouldn't work at all, and there are no updated drivers available on the Lexicon site. So, I'd suggest you look at another interface if you want to be sure it will work. Good luck.

I've connected it to other devices, though this keyboard has iDevice specific function keys. Many work, some do not. As far as the basic keyboard, though, you should be good to go there.

Dictation software is available on the Mac. Although I haven't looked at it in a while and it may have changed with the last update, the Mac dictation is far more limited and is more appropriate for a sentence or two or quick commands. Unless it has radically changed, it is not as accurate as Dragon, once you have set up and implemented Dragon. It is good for a quick sentence here or there but isn't yet set up for dictating long text documents the way that Dragon is. I agree it would be much better to have all this at your fingertips within the OS itself (and I'd even be willing to pay for an add on). Dragon definitely could use some competition in this market and Apple clearly has the ability to do this, as does Google. Sadly, neither company has released anything that can compete directly with Dragon. Dragon's software definitely works, but whether you are using it in Windows or OS X, it is definitely quirky and never completely integrates with the host OS. Having the most mature and viable product and pretty much the ONLY product for individual use, has allowed Dragon to charge higher prices, give so-so customer support to retail consumers, and continue to put a product that never quite meshes completely with the host OS (although it remains highly useful and is gobs faster than typing). It is only a matter of time, though, and this is a field where some healthy competition would be a good thing.

I do not think there are any Ipad or android apps for the popular Verbarrator software. You can contact LSLC and ask them tho, they have been pretty responsive to me in the past.

I'm not sure I understand your question. This is not a dictionary. It is a translator. It does have an English and Chinese dictionary in it but its main function is to translate. If you input an English word the Longman English dictionary will give you a definition for that word in English. If you want to translate a word or sentence you need to get out of the dictionary and into the English to Chinese or Chinese to English functions. If you type and English sentence in the English to Chinese function and then press Enter a window will give you a translation. This translator does not record sounds. It does give the correct pronunciation for what you translate though. I'm not sure I understand your question. This is not a dictionary. It is a translator.

I think you are asking about "Phonetic" spelling. That is, the representation of vocal sounds which express pronunciations of words. It is a system of spelling in which each letter represents invariably the same spoken sound. I use this device regularly. If you are a bad speller and/or unsure of a definition of a word, this is the device for you (I have that issue--hence why I bought this). I know how some work, and if you spell really bad many are useless. This one is the best I have discovered thus far (only the web/being online has proven better so far) This little device helps you learn to spell and understand words. Provides many examples of words so you can choose the one you "believe" you want. Hence why the dictionary screen helps next. It also has other functions for writing as well, of which I use. And, for you, it may help out if don't know the word, and the dictionary cannot supply one, well--it has a crossword game function that lets you put in part of a word and then supplies the possible words it could be. Such as a word starting with K????? Would provide you with a large range of words by filling in those question marks. I hope this helps. Oh, keep spare batteries with you. You never know when it will die, but it is always when you need the spell check!

Thanks so much for your detailed response. I am a special education teacher and was thinking about taking the iPad to iep meetings, but did not want to take notes on the built-in, nor do I want to write reports on this thing. The keyboard would make it easier to type anything of length, and now I am pretty are that I will give it a try....thanks again for helping out!

Been so long since I have used this I really could not say for sure. If you could use it, I imagine you can find better devices out there. QQ for example do have a translator built in to the international edition of the program. My suggestion is try that.

Pls dont buy....I've already wasted my investment. I contacted them about the weird transcription, they suggested me to contact software company, then I emailed them, did not get fruitful results. It totally waste of your resources. Better, buy cheap recorder.

I had the same problem. They said go into REG EDIT and delete anything in the registry to do with Neat. That worked as far as installing the program so I could open it on my screen. But the scanner itself hasn't worked yet. It's telling me no drivers loaded. That's where I am right now. I've been messing with this for almost a week now! I really wanted this...was all excited to ditch tons of paper. Now I'm pretty much ready to give up and return it.

I have used it quite successfully with Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred 12.5. I broke mine and bought the next step up, the WH100B, as the replacement; it did not work with the same Dragon product. Nuance has a chart ranking the units that work work with Dragon Naturally Speaking 12 on their web site. I would recommend checking it before purchasing anything.I hope this help you out. Have a nice day.
