| 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. |
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!
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.
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 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.
Key layout is identical to your computer's keyboard.
This smart design saves you time and hassle searching for the desired keys. It also
dramatically eliminates eye fatigue.

More dictionaries are currently planned for use in this model, such as other languages
and special interest Hebrew dictionaries.

the screen and the keyboard.
