Oxford is the maker of the world’s best-selling English dictionaries. Its dictionaries are considered an authority of the English language and are used both by students and professionals as an English reference work. Its language experts make use of large amounts of language data to create up-to-date dictionaries with many examples and grammatical information. Meanings are written to enable language users to know how and when to best use a particular word.

Dictionary features include:
• 184,500 words, phrases and meanings from British and American English. British/American-only words are specially marked.
• thousands of examples of real English showing learners how a word is normally used.
• DioDict's text to speech engine so you can listen to American and British native speaker's pronunciation of words and sentences.
• 1,000 newly coined words, such as ‘podcast', 'wiki', 'carbon footprint', 'social networking', and 'tiger economy'.
• 7,000 synonyms and antonyms as well as 5,000 words related to science, literature, computers, and business.
• explanations and examples use natural sounding, commonly used grammar and expressions.
• a pronunciation guide (IPA) with word stress shown next to each word entry.
• large amount of grammatical information:
-- parts of speech (noun, verb, adj. etc.) of each word.
-- irregular verb forms and noun plurals.
-- which prepositions are used with which verbs and adjectives.
-- whether a noun is countable or non-countable.

--Search Features--
• wildcard search: enter “?” or “*” in place of a letter when you are unsure of the spelling (e.g., “man*ver” retrieves the word “maneuver”).
• search for similar words: e.g. clicking on “adding” in an entry yields a list of similar and derivative words: “addition”, “additional”, “additive”, “addition reaction”.
• automatically search for any form of a noun or verb: e.g. clicking on “oxen” yields the singular “ox”. Great if you do not know which word form to look up.
• browse through the dictionary alphabetically or flip from one entry to the next with a flick of a finger.
• links to Google so that you can search for more information on a particular word.
