Highly Recommended English Dictionary Software
I have tried all three dictionary software above. Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English is the most feature-rich dictionary software that I highly recommend. Longman Language Activator is very useful and acts like a thesaurus. The user interface is clean and user-friendly. The software is free with the physical copy of Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English.
