About Concise Oxford American Dictionary & Thesaurus

This bundle includes the Concise Oxford American Dictionary and the Concise Oxford American Thesaurus into a single app that is practical, dependable, and easy to read.

The Concise Oxford American Dictionary includes more than 180,000 entries and definitions, complete with pronunciations, parts of speech, syllabification, inflected forms, and derivatives. All Oxford American dictionaries have an easy-to-use respelling system to show how entries are pronounced. It uses simple, familiar markings to represent common American English sounds.

The Concise Oxford American Thesaurus includes more than 12,000 main entries and over 350,000 synonyms, with example sentences and phrases for almost every sense. You’ll find Synonym Studies that show the subtle differences in meaning among a group of easily confused words.

A search tool

Featuring autocomplete search to help you find words quickly by seeing search predictions that might be similar to the search terms you’re typing. The search also allows various search options as:

  • A ‘fuzzy filter’ when you are not sure of the correct spelling of a word
  • A ‘keyword’ search for finding key words within compound words
  • A wild card search function (‘*’ or ‘?’) which can replace a letter or entire parts of a word.

A learning tool

The dictionary app includes a number of features which help you to grow your vocabulary further:

  • A ‘Favorites’ feature allows you to create your own categories and lists of words from the extensive library, which includes all cross-curriculum words
  • History list to help you easily review the last visited words.
  • See words in context with example sentences
