Description

Whether you're on a short trip to Thailand or studying the Thai language in-depth, this is the one dictionary you can really use. 100,000+ entries, crisp clear sounds for every Thai word, works without an internet connection and without any data charges, includes both pronunciation guides (12 different systems) and Thai Script with the Thai and English text as big as you want, includes a guide to speaking and writing Thai and other mind-blowing features for exploring the Thai language—nothing else even comes close!

== Listen to Any Thai Word

Touch any Thai word in any of our 100,000+ entries to hear a high-quality sound recording of a native speaker, not a toneless gravelly robot as found in other software. More than 14 hours of studio-recorded sound included with the software!

== No Connection Required and No Data Charges

Works even when you're in a taxi or a countryside street market and not connected to the internet: all entries and sounds are stored right on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, and you will incur no data charges when you use the app.

== Big Text and Clear, Sensible Layout

Just pinch to make the Thai and English text as big as you want—no more reading glasses!

Simply touch with your finger to scroll through multiple, complete definitions on the screen at once with a clean layout that avoids click fatigue.

== A Dictionary Crafted for Those Learning Thai

Unlike typical dictionaries based on low-quality, free internet data meant for Thai natives, our superb dictionary entries are hand-crafted by Paiboon Publishing with your needs in mind: if you're not familiar with the Thai alphabet, you can even look up Thai words by their sound using an easy-to-read pronunciation guide system (12 popular systems are supported). Hear somebody say "sanuk?" Type "s-a-n-u-k" to find out what it means. All Thai words in every section are written using both Thai Script and your chosen pronunciation guide system(s).

Unlike dictionaries meant for Thais, we list crucial Thai classifiers for more than 15,000 noun entries, we notate syllable stress, and we clarify subtle shades of meaning and formality using English explanations.

== Useful Vocabulary

Whether you are visiting Thailand for a short while or living there, you will find most of the vocabulary used in everyday life, including basic medical, cultural, political and scientific terms. 100,000+ entries: more than twice as many as Paiboon Publishing's 2009 printed volume.

== Find Words Inside

Touch any Thai word to see all the other dictionary words contained inside it. This fun and innovative feature is great for learning how complex ideas are expressed in Thai, and learning new words too!

== Introduction to Thai Included

More than just a dictionary, our software includes a comprehensive, interactive introduction to the Thai language, including a "Speaking and Understanding" section with clickable sounds, and a "Reading and Writing" section with all the consonants and vowels in multiple, real-world fonts.

== Learn Real-World Thai Script

You've probably noticed that the Thai letters appearing on signs and menus in Thailand often look nothing like those in textbooks. Touch any Thai word to see it written in a set of real-world fonts that you are likely to see on signs, menus, documents, and even in Thai handwriting.

== Explain Spelling

With our ground-breaking "Explain Spelling" feature, you can touch any Thai word and call up a visual explanation of its Thai Script spelling that shows you how the vowels and consonants of each syllable fit together, and how to determine each syllable's tone.

Nothing like this has ever appeared in any dictionary software on any platform.

Always a big fan of Benjawan's product, i bought the hardcopy dictionary and the software 3 way dictionary for my pc. Now i am going to get one for my iPhone, to my convenience, since it sticks to me practically 24 hours a day.

Does anyone know a similar app for the Android OS?

I've found CNDict for written Thai, but it doesn't help to learn how to speak it...

Have had the print dictionary and its subsequent updates for years and just got the talking dictionary for my computer. Really is quite good. Being able to see the word in different fonts, the ease of entries made in English or Thai script and the clear spoken pronunciation are all great.

I have the hard copies of the dictionaries, then when it came out I got the software dictionary, and now the iPhone app. The app is the best Thai iPhone dictionary out there.

Btw - if you want to have a shot at winning a copy of the iPhone app, go HERE.

Benjawan and Chris will continue to improve the app - after you buy the app, updates are free.

Normally I don't praise anything. But I bought this dictionary for my iPad, and it is fantastic. I realize the tremendous amount of work the programmer put in it. First I was worried about the high price. But now I must say it is worth every penny.

What I like most: It has very large vocabulary and a clear pronunciation of each word you look up. It is also perfect for beginners.

There are many other features which I have not tested.

One small obstacle: No translation of a full sentence, only single words - but this is done outstanding.
