The best digital dictionaries: a complete list
Recently I decided to declutter, said goodbye to my paper dictionaries and sold them on Avito.
I was surprised they sold on the very first day: mine had been sitting unused for about 10 years. I use electronic dictionaries. ⠀
I’ll show you free applications with dictionaries that I use in my work and, of course, can recommend. ⠀
- ABBYY Lingvo - I recommend it to those who are just starting to learn a language and have to translate a lot. It provides audio pronunciations for some words and lets you create flashcards. Tap the camera in the upper-left corner to photograph a text, then tap individual words to translate them. ⠀
- Reverso Context is my favorite dictionary, its functionality is limitless. The app includes translations, usage examples, synonyms, antonyms and conjugations in every tense. Tap a word to hear its pronunciation. You can create flashcards; there is also a separate synonym app and a paid subscription, although the free version already offers plenty. ⠀
- La conjugaison – for quickly finding verb conjugations in the active and passive voice, as well as feminine agreement in reflexive verbs.
- Dictionnaire français by Farlex – explanatory dictionary in French. A free analogue of the well-known Larousse and le Petit Robert. ⠀
All applications are intuitive. Just try it.
