Visual Tour   When you launch the dictionary on your PDA, it's immediately ready to find a word for you:

Use the menu at the top right to choose your dictionary section (English, Thai Sound, or Thai Script) and then start entering the letters of your word. You can use the on-screen keyboard or (for English letters) Graffiti. Typically, you only need to enter a few letters to arrive at the word you seek.

You can hide the on-screen keyboard to display more text on the screen, and you can choose from four crisp font sizes (two on standard-density devices). Click here to see how the fonts look on an actual device: it's even better than the picture above!

Use your page up/page down key or jog dial to browse the dictionary. When you re-start the dictionary, it remembers the section and place where you left off.

Search-by-Sound™   Search-by-Sound™ is what puts Paiboon Publishing's Dictionaries so far ahead of the competition, and now this indispensable capability is available on your Palm OS® PDA.

The Problem As you may know, Thai has its own alphabet which is nothing like English and takes a long time to learn. And even if you know the Thai alphabet, there are multiple ways of writing the same sound. The Solution: Search-by-Sound™ What if you could simply look up what you hear? Search-by-Sound™ lets you do just this. Paiboon Publishing has developed an easy-to-use transliteration system which spells out Thai words using English-like letters. Every Thai word in our dictionary is written with both the Thai alphabet and our English-like system, and you can even look up words by their sound. For example, if you hear someone say "sanuk," you just flip to the"Phonetic-Thai-Eng" section of the dictionary and enter "s-a-n-u-k":

The dictionary provides you with the exact pronunciation, the word written using the Thai alphabet, and a definition.
