Compact English-Spanish Dictionary by Word Magic Software

Compact English-Spanish Dictionary Screenshots



Description

The Compact Dictionary is the result of broad and thorough revision of the classic and comprehensive core of the original. Compact was and continues to be a great understatement; with more than 362,000 words and higher figure of translations, 558,000 synonyms were sure you get the pun!

Advert-free and with improved user interface, the Compact Dictionary makes a mighty impression for its minimum cost; while still a relatively small show of the accustomed grandeur of WMS, undoubtedly not so much an appetizer anymore as a serious entre.

About a quarter of a million successful downloads speak louder than the slyest publicity stunt; a little goes a long way perhaps has never made more sense.

WORKS OFFLINE. Connection required only for voices, images and spell-check.

Customer Reviews

Useful app (4 stars)
I like using Google Translate, but as I was often without Internet access I purchased this app when I was outside of a wifi zone. I like the interface. I like that you search on a word and it gives you both Spanish and English so you don't have to toggle between languages. I think this was a nice design and time saver. Google Translate still has its advantages as it can help translate sentences, but with a single word I prefer this app as
