Latest reviews of Collins Thai<->English Phrasebook & Dictionary with Audio app for iPhone and iPad
Not bad.... But no romanization of the Thai does not help, the size of the Thai letters are so ridiculously small, Why? OK the sound is good in both languages and there is a section to store your favorites.
Misses a lot of simple words such as teak. Very disappointing speccially when compared to free apps that are complete. Juan S
I should have known better after buying their dictionary product - but I had hoped that Collins was going to try better after their last disastrous Thai language product. First off, this product is nearly useless because it includes no phonetics. So if you dont read Thai - youll have to depend on the audio alone. Unfortunately the audio quality is poor, and its often difficult to discern what is being said. To make matters worse, the audio is read extremely quickly by a Thai speaker who neither enunciates well, or uses the tones in an obvious way. So with no ability to read a phoneticized version, or discern what the speaker is saying -- youre left with nothing. This is an extremely poor quality product. Try Talking Thai if you want a dictionary product that actually teaches you the Thai language. I will never buy another Collins product again.
