Dictionary Books is a Mac application for users who require the meaning and correct pronunciation of various English words. This program provides you with immediate word explanations which are retrieved from New Oxford American Dictionary and lets you save or print the results for later use.
Once you enter the term in the search box of the app, you get access to detailed information regarding the meaning of the word which you can copy to clipboard. Unlike Mac's Dictionary app, this program lets you save documents containing the searched words with their proper explanations and pronunciations.
Still, a disadvantage of Dictionary Books is that it doesn't offer you alternatives for a word it can't find due to a spell check error (Mac's Dictionary provides you with this helpful feature).
To conclude, Dictionary Books is an easy-to-use application that offers you accurate word explanations. The program comes with an intuitive interface, it provides the requested details quickly, and comes with no price.
