More than a dictionary app
Dictionary.com’s vision is to move the digital dictionary away from a simple search to make it a metaphor for something much bigger — a partner in helping people better communicate and master language in all aspects of their lives.
Additional features of Dictionary.com include:
— Slideshows with language facts;
— Editorial posts and insight about language usage in historical and current events,;
— Quiz widgets to test vocabulary;
— Local lookups (see which words are searched near you);
— Favorite words and search history; and
— Advanced learner’s dictionary (special content for ESL, EFL, and English learners).
The company, which has an ad-supported business model, also offers a paid version of each dictionary app that includes premium features like an encyclopedia, slang dictionary, idioms and phrases, example sentences, and medical, science, and rhyming dictionaries.
You can find the paid versions for just $3.99 in the App Store and $2.99 in Google Play.
Dictionary.com wants to help its users master the art of language to benefit them in all aspects of their lives — whether that means witty cocktail party fodder, the perfectly worded LinkedIn profile, an expertly crafted Yelp review or the most appropriate word for a midterm paper.
The power of the written word has perhaps never been so important as it is today, thanks to the democratization of the web and the rise of self-publishing. Dictionary.com aims to be the go-to partner to help people take full advantage of that power.
