Thread: Talking Dictionary

I have seen a Collins talking dictionary which sounds very interesting, it is cotained on CD Rom and gives the pronunciation of words along with the spellings. Has anyone experience of these ? It sounds like the answer to a maidens prayer.

Cheers

No, I haven't. I remember translate.ru had a whole bunch of dictionary thingies, but I never really liked the electronic dictionaries anyway. Lingvo is supposed to be super super good.

Спасибщ - Правит

Pronunciation is the thing, studying at home alone is not the ideal situation. Watching Russian TV may help but they do seem to talk very fast

Правие!

Простеите ( Спасибш ) эта Спасибо

A typo only just dicovered Russian keyboard

I have a Etaco Partner X-5 which cost $450. It worked perfect when I was in Russia to communicate. The keyboard is in English and Russian. We just typed back and forth and let it translate. It's about 90% good for translating and it also speaks anything in English you type, but will only speak in Russian the pre-programmed phrases. I would not recommend a talking dictionary to learn how to speak Russian. A set of tapes would be much better.
