Sesli Sözlük is a dictionary. We started it in 1999, and it has been used by Turkish speakers learning English, and by people learning Turkish, ever since. Type a word and you get its meanings, synonyms, where it comes from, and example sentences. For most words you can tap to hear the pronunciation in American, British or Australian English, or in Turkish. Many entries also have pictures and short video clips of the word being spoken in real conversation. Hearing a word said naturally a few times does more for your memory than reading a definition ten times. English and Turkish are the main pair, but there are 18 languages in total: German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Arabic, Persian, Chinese, Greek, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Finnish and Kurdish as well. In Settings you pick the two you use most, and you can change them whenever you like. The English–Turkish dictionary also works with no internet connection, so it keeps working on a plane or abroad without a data plan. Some smaller things we think you will like: - You can look up a word from any other app. Select the text, tap Share, then "Look Up in Sesli Sözlük". - Words you have looked up show in Spotlight search. - Your history and favorites sync between your iPhone and iPad through iCloud. - There is a dark appearance, and you can make the text bigger. - The app itself is available in 22 interface languages. The app is free and shows ads. If you would rather not see them, there is a single one-time purchase that removes them for good. It is not a subscription, and you can try a week without ads for free before deciding. You do not need an account. If you create one on seslisozluk.net and sign in, your history and favorites are kept there too.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Turkish Dictionary at none against Sesli Sozluk Dictionary's shown. Turkish Dictionary also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). Sesli Sozluk Dictionary's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 60%) and ratings volume (10K vs 16). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
