Version 1.6 delivers another massive increase in the number of dictionary entries from 100,000+ to 150,000+ bold entries (from 134,000+ to 220,000+ translations), plus another 28,000+ entries (not counted above) containing the names of cities, subdistricts, districts, and provinces of Thailand.
This is just another step in Paiboon Publishing's ongoing, multi-year dictionary production project, and you are able to enjoy the fruits of this labor as it progresses. In this release, we added words in all letters of the Thai and English alphabets, but in particular we filled out thousands of words in the English letters D, E, F, G, H, I, L, M, N, O, P, and R as the second phase of our dictionary expansion begun in late 2010. Now all letters of the English alphabet are equally detailed. Stay tuned for additional releases in the future which add even more entries to all sections.
As always, there is a high-quality sound recording of a native Thai speaker for every single Thai word in the dictionary.
In addition to the huge increase in entries:
- We now show playback icons right inline with each Thai word, so you can hear any Thai word with just one easy touch. If you prefer to fit more information on-screen, you can enable and disable the speaker icons in the Settings tab.
- We added a handy, unified "Quick Click Chart" in our Help section on "Reading and Writing" that shows all Thai consonants and vowels at once on your screen (designed for iPad), allowing you to click to hear each one or to go to its details in the relevant section.
- We made a large number of improvements to the Help, including a lot more sound recordings for sample phrases, more sample words, and playback icons in our charts of Thai vowels.
