5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Tool!, December 4, 2003

By	e-nonymous "e-nonymous" (Great Lakes region) - See all my reviews

Oxford University Press produced this CD-Rom version of their dictionary, and it is superb! Installed onto your hard-drive,
it is easy for the user to look up their choice of 350,000 words, phrases and definitions. This is a great tool for students, teachers and writers!

The dictionary will display on your title bar as a drop down menu. It is actually designed to work as a module with other dictionaries produced in CD-Rom format by Oxford University Press. I use it frequently in combination with The Pop-up Oxford Thesaurus, and recently added The Pop-up Oxford-Hachette French-English dictionary. You can use as few or as many of the dictionaries as you like.

With so many countries now participating in the European Union, it is essential for anyone who lives, studies or travels in Europe to be multi-lingual. Increasingly, it is important for American users to learn and use other languages -- particularly Spanish, and there is a dual-language version of this as well. The interlocking dual-language dictionaries produced by Oxford University Press work smoothly on a word document, as well as on a web-page.

I have used other dictionary programs, but find that the English dictionary by Oxford is superior to the American Heritage dictionary available on Microsoft's Bookshelf. The American Heritage contains more slang, has shorter entries and is definitely designed for an American user. The Oxford University Press English dictionary lists both American AND British uses for words, has more definitions and the entries are more specific, with less slang.

1.0 out of 5 stars Only for looking up known words, August 14, 2006

By	Dr. John Collins (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you only want to look up meanings of words with known spelling or which appear in text you are reading this is very good. However this is ALL I-Finger products do. It can be quite annoying in automatic look up mode since as you move your mouse the meaning of every word you move over instantly flashes up. When you move to a word to look up you may have to move your mouse over a dozen words and meanings will flash up one after the other. Unless you turn it off when you don't want to look up a word you will have words flashing up all the time unless you find a blank spot for the cursor and don't move your mouse. It can drive you nuts. It has no browse function so you can only look up words you know or see. Whilst it has a lot of words you can only look up words you know are in it. You must have it in book form to see all the words and their meanings. You can only ever see words that you click on or type in. When you open any book dictionary you can browse all the words looking at meanings. If you look up a word you often look up other words nearby in the book. It does not allow you to do any form of wildcard search and it does not look up words which are spelt differently to what you type in. You cannot get lists of words with (say) a common prefix or any other pattern.

1.0 out of 5 stars DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY, November 18, 2005

By	J. J. Amaya "JJ" (Mexico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I live in Mexico, and I do a lot of business through internet, so I have several dictionaries installed in my computer, but this one OXFORD DICTIONARY OF ENGLISH is by far the worst, the iFinger engine works only a few times, and very often the program suddenly "NOT RESPOND", I prefer to uninstall this Dictionary. Please read all the costumer reviews whether You decide to buy it or not.
