Let's be candid and straightforward: the major
complaint of all users of any Heb/Eng electronic
dictionary is their frustration caused by
wasting many hours searching and searching
but not finding the words in their dictionary.
If you have experienced this with your dictionary,
please read on.

With Babylon
you can search for sentences, not just individual
words*!
*sentences that are valid expressions.
|

Why can't you find words? In most cases
because you don't know Hebrew well enough. But
this is exactly the point (and the catch).
You use your dictionary because you don't know Hebrew
well enough!
What exactly is the problem? Although
your frustration is valid, your dictionary is very likely
to have the word that you can't find, but it is not
"smart enough" to understand what you want.
Why are most of the existing dictionaries not "smart
enough"? Because manmade instruments are
only as "smart" as their designers, and the
designers of most of the Hebrew dictionaries don't think
of you, the English speaking person. Rather, all the
dictionaries are made to serve Hebrew speakers who want
to learn English.
Why is that a problem if these dictionaries still have
both Heb/Eng Eng/Heb search functions? Since
the designers assume that you know Hebrew, their emphasis
is on input of Hebrew words into the dictionary. This
is your weak area. You don't know how to input the words
into your dictionary.
What's wrong in the way you input words into
the dictionary?
Since you don't know Hebrew well enough, you input your
words exactly as you see them: you are trying
to read some Hebrew text, you come across a verb that
you don't know, you type the verb exactly as you see
it in your text -- your dictionary does not find it!

With its
6,200,000 words and 300,000 expressions and idioms,
Babylon leaves any other existing dictionary far
behind.

This is the
only dictionary that includes all* the Hebrew verbs
-- each with all its possible conjugations! This
means that every word and every verb, (in any form
and in any tense), is already in Babylon.
-
Babylon allows
searching for expressions that include multiple
words.
-
Babylon also
allows you to toggle between words in any sentence
and instantly translate each word while still keeping
your current search active.
-
You can bookmark
desired words and their translations for later focused
study.

It has a high
resolution green display with a pleasant dark blue
text color, especially designed to reduce eye fatigue

It
does not find it since the word is very likely to be a verb
in a conjugated form that the dictionary does not understand.
What
does "conjugated form" mean, and why is that a major
problem?
To understand why this is a major stumbling point let's
consider, for example, one simple English verb.
We use for this example the verb "study."
In any English/English dictionary, "study" has four
possible conjugated forms: "study" "studies"
studying" and "studied." In Hebrew, for contrast,
is has 28! and this the case with many thousands of other
verbs. Click
Here to see "study" demonstrated in Hebrew and
English!
This is where
most electronic dictionaries
fail!
They, simply, don't have all these conjugations.
Rather, they include only one form (or two forms in the "better"
dictionaries) This form is called "infinitive."
In this case, the infinitive is "to study." (in
Hebrew: "lil-mod.")
Why don't most of the dictionaries have all these
forms? Simply because they don't have the needed
memory to include so many words. To include all possible conjugations
of every verb in Hebrew, the dictionary needs room for millions
of words. Yet, most of the dictionaries include only 300,000
to 400,000 words. This is why so many times you can't find
words in your dictionary. The designers of these dictionaries
expect you to convert any conjugated verb to its infinitive
form. The problem is that in order to do so you need
to know Hebrew quite well. The reality is that many
people, perhaps you too, don't know Hebrew grammar well enough
to convert every verb they come across to the infinitive form.
This is where Babylon
leaves ALL other dictionaries
far, far behind!
 |
With its huge
6,200,000 word base and 300,000 expressions, Babylon
will find for you every* word and every verb in every
possible conjugation!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Besides finding every word
and every conjugated verb, Babylon "thinks"
ahead. As soon as you type the first letter Babylon
starts searching and narrows its search as you type
more letters. You almost never need to type the
entire word you are looking for -- Babylon already knows
what you are looking for and displays your word and
related expressions with this word (see picture below).
All you need to do is to select it and press ENTER for
instant translation. Further, Babylon takes full advantage
of it huge 16MB memory (all other dictionaries range
between half a MB to 1.5 MB) and gives you, alongside
definitions, more wordy explanations.
*Although very unlikely, it is still
possible that an occasional rare verb will not be found.
