The electronic version of the Oxford Dictionary of English is handy for quickly looking up a word as you read a Web page or other document. To check a word, you only need to double-click it. You have to install iFinger before you can use the dictionary, which takes a while. The dictionary interface is compact. The search bar installs right into the title bar of just about any Windows application, even for programs such as Ad-aware.

For faster lookup, the most common meanings come up first, but you can expand the article to see more detailed information. The articles are hyperlinked. You can also expand the dictionary base by adding your own dictionaries, either word-by-word or by importing them from text files. This dictionary is helpful, even if you have the printed version.

Pros
I've used this product before and it's very convenient with a good range synonymns and antonymns - if you can get it to load.
Cons
The Collins spoken pronounciation dictionary (which originally cost me about $60) and iFinger are quite good, easily accessible and comprehensive dictionaries but are a cow to load on to new computers. I've wasted hours on this product and its shop-purchased (more featured equivalent) trying to get them to load. On this basis I'd steer clear of Collins' computer products.
Summary
Good handy dictionary if it works - a big "if".
Ripped off
amanda_waDecember 9, 2011
Pros
While it worked it was great
Cons
They changed the software to a subscription and cancelled versions that had been bought and paid for by disabling the dictionaries. They changed their business and forced it on customers retrospectively, without warning. I would not have bought a subscription dictionary because my income is unpredictable. I am left without nothing in exchange for my $120...
Summary
Unethical company.
I would have put 0 stars for this rip-off
Maximilian AndrewsDecember 5, 2011
Pros
it's handy, but becomes a moot point after losing the license
Cons
license becomes obsolete even if you have activation code and executable
Summary
When I buy a software package I always backup my activation code/license number and executable, but it was pointless with iFinger. The software installs by connecting to their webserver, and then downloading the package that you purchased. Unfortunately, if they decide to upgrade the search engine, you lose the possibility to reinstall the product you previously purchased!!! I consider this a ripoff, since I can't reinstall 4 dictionaries, for which I paid at least 30 USD each, because their license is bound to a search engine which cannot connect to the iFinger webserver. SO if you change computer, and they change version of the search engine, you lose the software... (so I lost over 120 USD) Moreover, if you have a product which is still available, but the version is too old, you can't upgrade. I complained to the company and I got this answer: "iFinger is not offering a subscription model. The customer must ensure proper storage and back up of it?s own data. iFinger does not offer support for events outside iFinger?s control. Events causing loss of data is not a support issue, i.e. iFinger does not provide links or keys to purchased product data a second time. The product will work as long as you don't change your environment. When you change your OS, we can not guarantee that iFinger will work." This is a ripoff (I said that already) because I simply changed computer, and I still had licenses and executables (so I didn't lose my data, otherwise I wouldn't even complain about such a mistake) but I couldn't install the programs on my new computer! SO to sum it up: don't buy it, even though the product itself is good, because you will eventually lose it!
