Would you like to expand your market and sales to include a software version of your dictionary?

Word in the Hand™ Inc. is looking to partner with other dictionary authors as we have done with Paiboon Publishing! You don't need to have any technical knowledge. Word in the Hand™ Inc. offers over a decade of software development expertise and real-world experience in bringing a dictionary software product to market. All you need to provide is the content (words and definitions).

Here's a few examples of what we can offer:

• Many formats:
  • foreign language dictionaries (e.g. Thai-English, French-English)
  • native language dictionaries (e.g. English-English, Arabic-Arabic, etc.),
  • encyclopedias / reference - with articles, illustrations and photos

• Support for complex scripts like Thai, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, and Hebrew
  • Display of easy-to-read characters on devices (e.g. Palm OS® PDA) which normally cannot display non-English characters. Display of large characters for beginning learners and mobile users who don't want to get out their reading glasses.

  • Display of phonetic alphabets using non-standard characters.

  • Search-by-Sound™: the ability to search for non-English words with an English-like phonetic alphabet. Expands your market to language learners who have not yet mastered the language's script.

• Talking dictionaries which pronounce words in one or more languages for their user.

• Full text search: imagine being able to find all the places a word appears anywhere in a dictionary, even as part of a definition, synonym, or antonym.

• Dictionaries which run on handheld devices (e.g. Palm OS® PDAs) or desktop/laptop devices.
