5.0 out of 5 stars The best PC dict I've ever had 3 Jan 2010
By BB
Format:Paperback
This is really good. Before you buy it, you can have a guided tour and see if it fits your needs. To me, it's more than good, it is really something I am looking for over several years. The DVD-Rom needs not to be in the PC once it's installed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyday companion 14 Feb 2010
By Jacques
Format:Paperback
I am a english language advanced learner and I really fancy this dictionary. I have been using it everyday since I bought it. The software interface is quite good. The pronunciation is either in English or American. There is a lot of example phrases pronounced. You can pop up the dictionary and highlight a word in a text, it will automatically search the word in the dictionary and pronunce it. The definitions are clear enough so I don't need to use a translation anymore.Well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing dictionary 27 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback
I had the previous version of this dictionary and I was in love with dictionary application on my PC. Then I bought a MAC and the software was running very sluggish on MAC. This updated version runs super smooth on a MAC and believe me this is the best English to English dictionary ever! :)
