MAIN ADVANTAGES

A Modern, Ergonomic Interface
It is so flexible that a user can “design” and create settings for the main window that are best. The size and shape of the windows and the selection and location of the toolbars can be changed. The font, font size and software interface language can also be set by the user. The dictionary entry can be managed: font and font size, show/hide transcriptions, examples of usage, accent marks, and highlighting of search results.

Save Time Searching for Meanings of Unknown Words
Searching for words using the MultiLex dictionary is hundreds of times faster than using a hard-copy dictionary. Just click the mouse wheel once to quickly find the exact translation of an unknown word! Translation can be performed in MS Office documents or web sites. Furthermore, even text contained in graphic interfaces in other programs can now be translated.

Access to your references will become quick and easy using the convenient, multiple-window interface and other advantage of MultiLex from any computer in your company network.
