I have Thesaurus and Wordweb installed on my desktop PC, and I look at them all the time when I’m writing. I carry my Android tablet with me when I travel and I’ve found that the Dictionary.com widget is a clever solution that’s far more convenient than relying on dictionary and thesaurus websites.
Install the Dictionary.com from Android Market for free and add its widget to home screen using our guide on how to set-up a widget.
This widget includes over 325,000 words and 300,000 synonyms and antonyms from both Dictionary.com and a Thesaurus. It even features phonetic spelling as well as audio pronunciations for words. The widget also supports voice to text search, spelling suggestions and example sentences.
Words can be searched by typing in the search dialog box or you can use a voice search feature by speaking the word into the Android phone/tablet PC. Besides providing word meanings, Dictionary.com also displays interesting information like the word history and origin.
But the most intriguing feature of this widget is the daily update from Dictionary.com. It’s like a Word of the day.
Dictionary.com is very handy for any writer, student, or anyone using English as a second language.
