“Oxford Languages dictionaries have been a valued part of HumanWare’s Connect 12 experience, powering its Dictionary application. For people who are blind or have low vision, quick access to clear, reliable definitions and word support helps reduce difficulties in everyday reading and learning. We see this benefit across age groups and settings, from students building vocabulary in the classroom, to professionals reviewing documents at work, to individuals reading for personal interest at home. The Dictionary app, powered by Oxford Languages, is a simple feature, but it meaningfully supports confidence, comprehension, and independence.”
