The Simon and Schuster New Millennium Dictionary is packed with articles, animations, atlases and more. This is much more than a dictionary, it’s almost like an encyclopedia.

To learn how to use this database, there is a guided tour but the audio stutters and skips. Needless to say, we didn’t listen to the entire tour.

This program is more difficult to use than most. The installation took a lot longer than the other dictionary software and there is so much information that a new user could easily get confused and discouraged.

The program includes a dictionary and a thesaurus. The dictionary has phonetic symbols, parts of speech and verbal illustrations.

A big downside to this dictionary is it doesn’t interact with your other programs so you can’t quickly look up a word. You have to open the program and enter your word in the search window. Simon and Schuster has 175,000 entries—there is a lot of content but much or it belongs in an encyclopedia.
