MAIN ADVANTAGES OF MULTILEX 5.0
A Top-Quality, Constantly Updated Dictionary Database
MultiLex 5.0 contains more than 10 million entries in 50 dictionaries. Of these, 18 are general dictionaries, including the famous Webster’s New World Dictionary & Thesaurus (in electronic form for the first time in Russia) and the best English-Russian dictionary – Academician Yu. D. Apresyan’s New Great English-Russian Dictionary (Íîâûé áîëüøîé àíãëî-ðóññêèé ñëîâàðü). MultiLex also includes 32 specialized dictionaries with a wide range of subject areas: economics, jurisprudence, technology, construction, sociology, biology, medicine, linguistics, and many more.
All the dictionary databases are licensed and completely match the author’s text, making the MultiLex electronic dictionary accurate and professional. MultiLex updates and adds to its dictionary database as new editions of the hard-copy dictionaries are published.
A Modern, Ergonomic Interface
The MultiLex interface 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.
Information Presentation
The MultiLex dictionary offers the quality of the original dictionaries: the same text and quality, and no errors. The dictionaries included in MultiLex have detailed author’s forewords, numerous examples of usage, information on grammar, tables of reference and other lexicographic information. Some of the dictionaries include transcriptions and accent marks.
Quality of Search
It’s impossible to find so much information on a word you want by thumbing through a hard-copy dictionary as you can using MultiLex. The electronic dictionary searches for and retrieves any grammatical forms of a word, and searches not only by entry headings, but also by other components of an entry such as translations and examples of usage.
All dictionaries used are searched simultaneously, and the numerous search results are conveniently organized and easy to understand.
Easy Translation
You only need to click the mouse wheel once to quickly obtain the translation of an unfamiliar 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.
Complete Audible Pronunciation
Any of the 10 million MultiLex translations can be audibly pronounced using the latest speech synthesis technology, making it possible to use the dictionary for foreign language instruction. In addition, any text entered into the search row or comment window can be pronounced.
Microsoft Agent is used as the speech synthesis software. You can get an update for Microsoft Agent (or a component of it) on the Microsoft web site.
Tools for Independent Study and Work
MultiLex makes it possible to create numerous user dictionaries in various fields of translation, and also enables you to insert bookmarks and comments in dictionary entries. The user bookmarks and history provide significant help in learning a foreign language, since you can use them as a list of words learned.
The transcriptions and accent marks in the entries and the special pronunciation functions help you to learn the correct pronunciations of foreign words. The display of the form of a word helps you to learn all possible forms. The MultiLinker adaptive learning system highlights the words studied in MS Word texts and thus makes it possible to remember them faster.
Multiple-Platform Support
MultiLex runs under most popular operating systems: Windows, Mac OS X, Palm, PocketPC, Symbian, Sony Ericsson, Siemens & Nokia, and Smartphone. Thus, it can be installed on a desktop PC, pocket computer or mobile phone. MultiLex can even be used by tourists and audiophiles using the new MultiLex Assistant pocket translators and iPods with built-in English-Russian and Russian-English dictionaries.
