A talking dictionary is a digital device that reads the definition of a word. It also identifies word usage in sentences. It can also predict whether a word is misspelled or not. The program will even perform a sound analysis to confirm the word’s pronunciation. It will not read the meaning of a word without being spoken. It will read its definitions and pronounce them. Once the dictionary recognizes a word, it will speak it out loud.
