Collins© Dictionaries are widely acclaimed for their excellence, their continuing innovation and for their tireless reflection of today's language. This innovative software package offers the complete paperback version, with over 100,000 translations and 70,000 references and a wide coverage in areas relevant to business and office automation.

Simple and easy to use, Collins© bilingual Dictionaries are ideal for students, businesspeople or travellers alike who need foreign vocabulary to understand or even to speak another language.

- Collins bilingual dictionaries are useful for when travelling, dealing with foreign correspondence or when a single word is simply not enough.
- The powerful combination of our hypertext system enables you to find the translation instantly, just by tapping on any word.
- You can look up a word in just about any way: just type a few letters, paste it (from another application) or simply browse though the dictionary.
- Offers many useful tools, such as 'Crosswords' to find words even if you don't know all the letters.
- 'Illustrative' and 'Essential' phrases with the context in which words are used are included to give you more insight in the language.
- Background information on regular and irregular verbs.
- Clear and readable. You can adapt the display to show more or less detail, change the size and style of the text, etc.

Epoc reviews
- "...Tom Tom have brilliantly adapted the dictionary into an easy running, easy to use Revo application that is a must-have for anyone dealing with contacts overseas... An easy user interface and in depth content with quick access and powerful hypertext features in your pocket is something truly worth while!
  - Edd Read, Revoworld
- "Un dictionnaire sur Psion est un outil parfait : puissant, léger, portable. D'ailleurs, je ne m'en sépare plus. Animant depuis un an un forum sur la sécurité aux USA, un dictionnaire rapide m'est précieux pour ces terribles instants de doute ("Ne serais-je pas en train de prononcer une énormité ?").
- Un bon, voire même un très bon dico, est édité par TomTom. Il s'agit du portage d'une version papier connue par des générations d'écoliers, le Collins (devenu HarperCollins depuis dix ans). Une interface simple et dépouillée, mais pas pauvre, une utilisation judicieuse des liens hypertexte, une recherche puissante mais simple, et vous avez tout ce qu'il vous faut pour comprendre et vous faire comprendre.
- Agis Lange, ComputerChannel

| Using the application

Suppose we start at low detail (just showing the most important information) and look for a translation of the English word "nice". Just start typing. After two letters (in this case, anyway), the screen already shows what you're looking for:

You can click on any English or French word and immediately jump to its dictionary entry (or its closest match). For instance, if you click on the word "rather", your screen switches to this:

If you click on a French word, you'll get its entry in the French-English dictionary, e.g.

You can also browse through the list of words, or paste it from another application.

The application offers some useful other options like crossword-solving and the most important regular and irregular English and French verb tables (of which a few lines are shown here:)
