digital dictionaries
Electronic word references
Digital dictionaries are reference works accessed through electronic devices rather than printed books.
They range from simple word-lookup apps to sophisticated platforms with audio pronunciations, usage examples, and cross-references.
The format allows instant searching, regular updates, and features impossible in print: I checked the digital dictionary for the pronunciation.
Most modern dictionaries exist primarily or exclusively in digital form.
