    5.0 out of 5 stars A Superb dictionary at a great Price!, 7 Feb 2006
    By Dr. R. T. Russell "Amon Ra" (Belfast, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Given the superb quality of this dictionary, the price is a steal. For the average writer, this product will more than cover all of their needs (I'm discovering new features in it every day).

    It has quite a few useful features which I use nearly every day. Just fire up your word-processor, have the COD running in the background, and when you double-click on a word, COD will display it. Further, if you click on the head-word, the program will also pronounce it for you. Isn't that clever. Further, when you click on any word in the definition of the head-word, COD will go directly to that word.

    There is also a very useful guide to English useage which I find indispensible. All in all, a great product at a ridiculous price. Go ahead and buy it - you won't regret it.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Useful for its audio pronunciation, 2 Jul 2009
    By D. Jones - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    The best thing about this dictionary is its audio pronounciation--that earns the product a place on my computer. Apart from that I was disappointed with it for two reasons, neither of which might be of concern to another user. First, I do not like the typeface, finding it a somewhat difficult to read. Increasing the size does not help. Second, the idea of using the dictionary as an "always available" program for consultation is appealing except that it takes up space on the Windows taskbar rather than hiding itself away in the system tray. A minor point, yes, but one which dissuades me from replacing my current set-up which is to use the free program WordWeb which sits in the system tray until called upon via a key-stroke. That might not be an issue for anyone else which would make the COED11 a good choice.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Text display unsatisfactory for me, 14 Sep 2008
    Wanting to update the excellent COD 9th edition cd-rom, I purchased the COED 11th edition. However, I have a sight problem, and updating has proved to be a mistake because I find the text on the 11th edition too thin and 'spidery', even with the larger font of the two size settings. Unless you have good eyesight, do try and view the 11th. Meanwhile, for the present, I continue to use the visually superior 9th .....

    I read some of the other reviews before I bought this and could have been put off, it does what it says, it's a dictionary, nothing else.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended.
    At this price the dictionary is brilliant. There are free online dictionary to use, but I don't think they compare to this brilliant tool. Read more
