ECTACO Latin bidirectional talking dictionary
This talking English-English dictionary is built on the latest text-to-speech technology to give you advanced English speech synthesis and a dictionary with over 450,000 entries, which makes it a great learning tool and an extensive multipurpose linguistic resource.
Or maybe not. Not only is it pretty darn expensive, at $150, but I'm deeply suspicious of its 450,000 entries. The Oxford Latin Dictionary, a monstrous compendium of 2100 pages weighing in at eight and a half pounds only claims 40,000 words. To get up to ten times that number, they must be doing something stupid like counting each form as an "entry."
