mehedi mahbub (ID: 00000014af41f1c1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/23/2023 This is the best dictionary

Manny Reyes (ID: 000000a66d508e4b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/06/2023 I like it. It would be a five start extension if the voice improved. It has gotten better and I am grateful but it still sound robotic compared to other extension. This gives more information on words that's why I keep using. Thank you for your work and this has amazing potential.

Bob Builder (ID: 000000cf11e067fc) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/12/2023 Can I set which dictionary I want to use? Maybe I want to use Oxford or Stanford Dictionary? Maybe Webster's from a certain year?
