Re: *SPOKEN* Arabic dictionary software

I see... what I mean is a full dictionary where every word is pronouced
outloud by the software. Dictionary.com has that for English and I
think there is a need for vocalised dictionary for learners.

Arabic script if it includes vowels, or (as Hans Wehr does) vowelless
Arabic + a Latin transcription, unambiguous leads to the
pronunciation, so a voice function is unnecessary.

The only thing I've found is the ECTACO Partner Arabic English
Bidirectional Dictionary - EA B-3. It's a portable electronic
dictionary but I'd rather PC software - I'm already carrying an iPod,
GBA and phone and don't want to carry anything else :)

If it's portable, can't it be ported to any of the three you
mentioned?
