Dictionary is an application which can help you find out the meaning, pronunciation and much more. Dictionary can be in any language. For example, people of Pakistan mostly use English to Urdu dictionary while people of France will probably use English to French dictionary.
The electronics have influenced our lives so much that we rarely use books these days. This is why many people prefer to install a dictionary application on either their smartphone or computer. There are a lot of dictionaries that can be found on the internet. But it is best to install these applications from official Microsoft Sore rather than downloading from internet and installing on your computer.
English is the dominant and most used language throughout the world. If you want to install a dictionary on your computer which translates from English to your language, and you only want something that can help you understand English words through description in the English, then Advance English Dictionary is your best option in my opinion.
Introduction
Advance English Dictionary is a comprehensive dictionary application for Microsoft Windows users. This application claims on its Microsoft Store page that it has more than 400,000 entries. However, what I do acknowledge that it is simple to understand and has modern interface. It is very small in download size, but it loads fast. It not only shows the meaning of a word but also its pronunciation and related words. You can also learn to speak any word in US and UK standards if you have related packages already installed on your computer. Usually, the app will be able to speak in English (US) on its own if you have selected English (US) as the default language for the operating system during installation.
How to use
Advance English Dictionary application is very simple to use. You type your word in the search bar. The left sidebar will show your search result and the area on the right will show the meaning of the word you select from the sidebar. The right area will be separated in two, the "definition" and "relation".
The definition will show simple definition of the word. On top, you can also click the "US" or "UK" icons to hear your computer speak the word in US or UK standard. It will also write down the pronunciation in those standards under the word. If the application has related image, then it will also show it below the meaning of word.
The relation area will show synonyms and sometimes antonyms of your selected word. It will also show if the synonyms or antonyms are noun, verb etc. This can greatly help those checking grammar of the any document.
