English-language learners—and American Anglophiles practicing their
imitation of James Bond—will delight in the news that the Cambridge
English Pronouncing Dictionary is now in app form. This latest version of the
dictionary, "the classic guide to accurate, contemporary pronunciation for
British and American English", is published jointly by Cambridge University
Press, the world's oldest publisher, and Paragon Software Group. This dictionary
app for Android, iOS and Mac OS X users is based on the classic version of
Daniel Jones' guide to contemporary pronunciation for British and American
English and is designed to meet the needs of English language learners striving
to perfect their pronunciation of even the most challenging words, such as
"though" and "hono(u)r", personal names, company names,
technology and science definitions, and more. The app version contains a variety
of features that aid learning (such as a Flash Card Quiz), search and navigation
(such as full-text search) and convenience (no Internet connection required).
