The result of thorough research using sophisticated computer programs to search for new terminology and ensure that all the latest vocabulary from Latin American Spanish and American English is covered, this brand new edition covers over 24 varieties of Spanish as it is written and spoken throughout the Spanish-speaking world-from Spain to Mexico, from Peru to the River Plate. This groundbreaking edition of the Oxford Spanish Dictionary features 20,000 new entries (10,000 in each language), with the updating focused particularly on business, IT, and scientific terminology. Special entries on life and culture explain the differences between institutions, administrative systems, educational systems, and general life in the Spanish and English-speaking worlds, offering vital background to the language. Also, for a limited time only, all OSD's will be packaged with a free CD that contains cutting-edge text-to-speech software. This software enables users to type in any word, phrase, question, or date, and an audio version of the text will immediately pronounce it with appropriate inflection. No other Spanish dictionary offers this revolutionary software. With a newly designed user-friendly format, the dictionary is more accessible than ever. Each entry is in color making it easy for the reader to distinguish between and search for words. With half of the entries in English and half in Spanish (including the front matter), the Oxford Spanish Dictionary is the ideal reference for native speakers of either language. Handy, easy-to-use, and wide-ranging, this dictionary is also the essential tool for all students and teachers, as well as translators and language professionals. Jacket covers are also available in Spanish. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Oxford Spanish DictionaryI love this dictionary! I use it all the time and would be lost without it. Yes, it is big, but....Oxford makes all sizes of this dictionary. I would difintly recommend this to everyone. It is well worth it! Rating:  - El diccionarioOverall, I really like this dictionary. I bought it for use in an Advanced Spanish Composition course and it certainly has plenty of words in it. 2 drawbacks: 1. The definitions are not always quite clear. For example, los militares means the people in the military, not just the military in general as one might assume from the entry in the book. Subtle, but important when writing. wordreference.com tends to be a little more clear. 2. It's huge! I tend to call it the blue ...

It has worked very well so far, some very technical words aren't there, but those aren't in an english only dictionary either. Rating: - CD provides instant word look-up as you read internet or other textThis is an outstanding dictionary. I have been using it, in one format or another, for many years. (I now have the Palm PDA version on my handheld - not as full of features as the CD Rom version, but just as complete, and super when I'm on the go). One outstanding feature is that the CD Rom version permits you to click on words in other text you are reading on the computer, and immediately see the translation of that term in the dictionary (see below). The CD Rom dictionary ... Read More Rating: - Once You Get Accustomed, Using CD Rom Dictionaries is Easy and Efficient.I purchased this cd-rom dictionary to replace a very old Spanish dictionary - with no computer terms, no less !! I had never used a CD-rom dictionary before. The content are superior - including both South American and Spanish Spanish terms. Also, it includes many useful technical terms in a range of fields. You can quickly get used to the CD-rom approach to looking up words - and even phrases. Both into and from Spanish are easy. Also the nice thing is that associated words appear alongside. I am a ...
