Talking Dictionary for Palm OS provides bidirectional word translation and speech synthesis.

Make your Palm speak English with LingvoSoft Talking Bidirectional Dictionary! Just select any English word and with one click make the speech synthesizer pronounce it for you. The synthesizer (Text-to-Speech engine) is based on a new approach to speech synthesis, i.e. formant synthesis, which creates a human voice simulation by modeling the sounds of natural language.

This new dictionary is an extensive language resource. It features a searchable database of 400,000 words and phrases. Each entry is completed with part of speech information and several translation options for all polysemantic words.

The new software is a combination of ease-of-use and flexibility.
