Features

• Reliable and accurate translations
  Lingvo contains licensed dictionaries from reputable and renowned publishers such as Oxford (in cooperation with Duden, Hachette, Paravia), Compact Verlag and Russkij Yazyk.
  Depending on the Lingvo version you have purchased, you are going to have access to high quality, comprehensive dictionaries for different language pairs.
• Detailed entries with pronunciation keys, grammatical descriptions, and example sentences
  The dictionary entries contain detailed information on each word and word combination with possible translation, usage examples from real sources (such as books, newspapers and other publications), grammatical descriptions, synonyms, antonyms, spelling alternatives, phonetic transcriptions and audio pronunciations recorded by native speakers.
• Audio pronunciation of key word recorded by native speakers
  Lingvo provides audio pronunciation of words and phrases recorded by native speakers. Human speech gives you the opportunity to hear how the words are being pronounced by real people living in the environment of the language. This way you can improve your pronunciation and get as close as a native speaker. Depending on the version and the language combinations of your Lingvo you are going to have access to audio pronunciations for words in six languages including:
  -15 000 English words
  -10 000 German words
  -5 000 French words
  -10 000 Spanish words
  -10 000 Ukrainian words
  -20 000 Russian words
  Lingvo also includes phrasebooks for some language combinations with audio pronunciations for common expressions, of course recorded by native speakers of the languages.
• Quick retrieval of terms and word combinations thanks to a comprehensive and powerful database
  The powerful database which is working for you behind ABBYY Lingvo will not only help you work as efficient as possible but will also help you with compound words for example (words which are build by combining other words together) even if they are not explicitly listed in the dictionaries on your Bookshelf.
• Practical search functions
  In addition to its comprehensive vocabulary, ABBYY Lingvo x3 delivers advanced search capabilities such as full text search and wildcard search. Full text search allows users to search for words and word combinations in all texts of its dictionaries including headwords, translations, examples sentences, and comments. You can use this function to find the translation of expressions and idioms for example:
  Wildcard search helps you to search for words and phrases based on a pattern, by substituting the * and ? symbols for unknown letters:
  "?" stands for any single character (including a blank space)
  "*" stands for any sequence of characters (including blank spaces).
  You can use the wildcard search feature to find words which you are not sure how to spell, to find all phrases containing a given word, or to solve crossword puzzles. To save time retyping frequently used words, word history provides a list of the last 100 words searched.
• Immediate translation in a Pop-up Dialogue or using hotkey combinations
  With Lingvo, you can instantly translate unfamiliar words when browsing the Web, reading e-mails or texts on the screen without changing the application or interrupting your current work. Simply point the cursor at a word and get the translation in a pop-up dialogue.
