Advance Computer Dictionary 2.0.0.0
When it comes to IT notions, component names and various abbreviations most users will immediately carry out an online search.
However, for those who want to get the explanation for some terms when an Internet connection is not available a tool like Advance Computer Dictionary could be the right choice.
Unsophisticated interface, made for ease of use
The utility offers a clean interface for anyone to use and find the definitions they are interested in. The most representative attribute that can be assigned to this front-end relates to the orderly arrangement of all the functions and commands.
The way in which the information is presented is pretty decent and the search results appear promptly, without any delays. A source of discontent is evident, nonetheless and it consists of the irritating adverts that appear in the lower side of the screen.
After a few uses you will also start to receive some prompts to rate and review Advance Computer Dictionary, but the full screen adverts are the most annoying hindrances you will come across.
Search suggestions and prompt results
Looking up various terms is a straightforward job, as the utility comes with a most useful search-as-you-type feature that offers suggestions instantly and can reduce a lot the time needed to locate any entry in the dictionary database.
On the downside, you will not be able to copy or share the content from the screen that contains the explanation, so you will have to come back to it every time you need that definition or part of it.
Read or listen to the definitions
All explanations provided by Advance Computer Dictionary are easy to read, but there is a neat feature included in the package that will come in very handy in case you want to do something else in the same time.
To be more precise, you can simply listen to the definition as it is read out loud, since the application features a dedicated function for activating the text to speech option. There is also a button that stops the voice and it is also included in the main menu shown in the lower part of the screen.
