The Dictionary tool with Read&Write offers quick definitions for selected words. The Picture Dictionary tool shows simple pictures based on selected words.
Note: This article covers the Dictionary tools using Read&Write's browser extensions, which functions slightly different than the Read&Write desktop application. For desktop application instructions please go to the following links:
Dictionary
- Highlight a single word on your screen. You can either click and drag your cursor over the word, or double click on the word.
- Select the Dictionary icon from the Read&Write toolbar. A small box will appear with dictionary definitions for the selected word and example sentences.
- Press the play button next to each definition to have that definition read aloud.
In some cases, you can highlight multiple words and receive a dictionary definition from those words. For example, if you highlight "graphic design," you will see a definition of graphic design. Your results may vary.
Picture Dictionary
- Select the Picture Dictionary icon from the Read&Write toolbar. A small box will appear with a simple picture identifying the selected word.
