Thank you, Kathy Penn, of Sound Literacy for the heads-up on the Merriam-Webster Dictionary iPad/iPhone app.
If you don’t know how to spell the word, or it’s too tedious for you to type it in, you can push record. Using Voice Search by Dragon, the device records your voice and searches for the word. When the word comes up, you can push a button and hear it spoken, as well as see the definition.
Be sure to speak clearly, though. The first word I spoke, salad, came up as ballet!
P.S. You can also use Voice Search to look up information on the internet!
