e-dictionary
Online word reference
An e-dictionary is a dictionary in electronic form—accessed through software, websites, or dedicated devices rather than printed pages.
E-dictionaries offer features impossible in print: instant search, audio pronunciations, hyperlinked cross-references, and regular updates.
I looked it up in an e-dictionary on my phone.
