Babylon is a single-click translator, dictionary, converter, and information tool that enables users to get definitions, translations, conversions, and relevant information. It lives on your desktop and lets you get relevant information on the topics that you choose (medical, sports, computers, music, and so on) by clicking your desired word term or number. This newest version gives you the power of knowledge by offering definitions and information from hundreds of glossaries such as Amazon, Britannica, Dietwatch.com, Accuweather, and more, as well as private users glossaries
This version still features an instant translation, currency, time, and metric conversion tool; an optional calculator; plus a useful Text-to-Speech add-on feature. The new automatic update gives you the latest information at your fingertips. You can save any of the results you get for future use, connect to the site to subscribe or download more glossaries, build and publish your own glossary, send greeting cards, or participate in a Babylon forum.
Our Review: The premier internet reference tool. With the aid of this free platform, a world of glossaries, translation and general/specific interest will be placed neatly on your desktop. Through selective downloading ( from www.babylon.com ), the basic babylon tool can be augmented with comprehensive translation abilities for twelve major languages ( so far ) and a host of glossaries covering a huge range of subjects and probably every other language under the sun ( ours and others! ). Conversion tools are available ( for currency, measurement, time, etc ) as well as the choice of male or female voice to download for pronunciation practise or limited company. Combine all of this with single click ease, an excellent design structure and the ability to create and submit glossaries on subjects close to your heart ( see Babylon Builder, also on this site ) and there you have it - or at least you should have!
