Lingvo dictionaries on Android OS? #1 (permalink) Sun Dec 18, 2011 19:35 pm   Lingvo dictionaries on Android OS?
 

Ok, I've got some tech questions here, hope someone can answer them.

So, I've been using the Lingvo application on my HTC for about 1,5 years now (Windows Mobile 6.1) and now I'm thinking about getting an Android phone (currently thinking about having Xperia Mini Pro). Of course using Lingvo is crucial for me. So here are my questions:

1) What program is better - official Lingvo for Android app or ColorDict?

2) I've read that if you put many dictionaries in ColorDict it may crash pretty often. Is it true? (Currently I experience crashes on Win Mobile, but they are rare and the application restarts without any issues).

3) Do those apps work in the landscape mode (so it is possible to use the Mini Pro's keyboard)?

Thanks.

Hi Tomm,

I'd say that Lingvo is better, because it provides only licensed content from well-known publishers, which is available to purchase or instant download right from within the app. More than 200 dicts to choose from. Price is very reasonable - $2.99 for the app with access to 58 dicts for 27 languages included in the app price. Sounds not bad, right?

Add here offline translation, landscape mode, reliability of ABBYY technologies and complex support of their products, and the answer is absolutely obvious:)

Thanks for your reply.

But can I use it in landscape mode in Android?
