Key features of our exciting new Talking Thai-English-Thai Dictionary for Android:

LISTEN TO ANY THAI WORD: Touch any Thai word in any of our 150,000+ entries to hear a high-quality sound recording of a native speaker, not a toneless gravelly robot as found in other software. More than 18 hours of studio-recorded sound included with the software!

NO INTERNET CONNECTION REQUIRED, 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, SENSIBLE LAYOUT: You can 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.

THAI BUILT-IN: The app comes with everything you need to read and type English, Thai Script and Thai Sound. There's no need to purchase third-party keyboards or "Thai Enabler" software. Use our custom built-in keyboards or use your favorite third-party keyboard.

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. 150,000+ bold entries: more than five times as many as Paiboon Publishing's 2009 printed volume. Plus, over and above the 150,000 figure, we now include more than 28,000 place name entries which help you to pinpoint geographical locations in Thailand.

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.

BUY IT NOW: Don't go another day without this indispensable tool! Enjoy free lifetime upgrades as we add more vocabulary and more features. Go directly to Google's Android Market to buy it now:

Nearly 24 hours and no views and no comments. Says it all about Android?

[JBStuart]

I have it for iPhone/iPad and it's a truly great app, well worth the money. I saw the announcement and informed my friend with Android who has been jealous about mine for several months now. No doubt he'll get it.

BTW, I could've sworn I saw something about a major update that was supposed to happen last fall, adding thousands more slang, technical, religous, etc. words. Any news about this? The last update was June 30, 2011, V1.4

[LarryBird]

Am I correct in seeing the price as 772baht?

[stoneyboy]

Am I correct in seeing the price as 772baht?

Seeing as it rang in at 17 GBP I would say yes.this would be the price.

Mine is the iPad app,money well spent.

[Gaccha]

This product is so superior to all the other ones, it obviously can afford to charge.

...but if you think what it should be it is still not good enough. There should be vast numbers of sample sentences, divided by the particular usage of the word.

Can the thai-english words be zoomed with 2 touch as to make them more easily readable?

[Somtamnication]

I have it for the Ipad. Very very good, but slow. Well worth the price.

All can be zoomed in and out, atyclb. I use it daily in the classroom and in meetings. Expensive, but good.

You can make the text larger or smaller, but it's not the 2 finger scaling you can do with photos. It's done by an option in the settings.

[atyclb]

If you purchase it and have an android phone and an android tablet must you buy it twice?

The 2 finger scaling is very practical and works with thai-language.com dictionary as well as Collins android thai-eng

[Somtamnication]

Pinch and you enlarge. No need to go to settings.

Pinch and you enlarge. No need to go to settings.

Maybe on the ipad, but 2 finger text scaling does not work on my android phone.

I love using the thai-language.com dictionary. I just downloaded the Paiboon dictionary yesterday and spent today going back and forth between the two as I'm reading the first Harry Potter book in Thai. Sometimes a word won't show up in one or the other and sometimes one source has a better definition. They compliment each other well.

I don't know about the Android, but I use it on both my iPhone and iPad and only had to buy the app once.

[Somtamnication]

With android, as you download it from google market (I am guessing you do), then you can download it multiple times. I have two android phones and both have purchased and registered apps.

Can you copy and paste from this app?
