PRS-600 Dictionary

garyasta · 12-30-2011, 05:54 PM

Is it possible to use the in-built dictionary without having to select a word in a document?
In other words, can the dictionary be used as a stand-alone selectable unit.

OR

Would installing another dictionary as a downloaded book be suitable for the purpose of selecting and defining words?

Yes. the dictionary can be found on the second page of the homescreen. Once you open it you can search for words (it shows a list of possible matches as soon as you start typing).

Thanks for your response. However, I don't have a second page to the homescreen.

There is a page for "Settings" where i can select the dictionary type (and a few other things), and "More" which only has "Audio", "Pictures" and "Handwriting".

Sorry, I was talking about the new T1. Seems like I looked at the T1 tag of another thread when I replied to yours.

I'm pretty sure that you can, but I don't remember exactly how. Try double-tapping on a word to bring up the dictionary and then tapping the little book icon in the definition window.
