Met de Taalapp krijg je een compleet woordenboekaanbod, overzichtelijk in één app. De app bevat de volgende woordenboeken: 1. Vertaalwoordenboek (NL, DE, FR, EN, ES) 2. Puzzelwoordenboek 3. Cryptogrammenwoordenboek 4. Nederlandse Encyclopedie 5. Woordenboek Nederlands 6. Dialectenwoordenboek 7. Rijmwoordenboek 8. Spreekwoorden en gezegden 9. Synoniemen (NL, DE, FR, EN, ES) 10. Werkwoorden vervoegen (NL, DE, FR, EN, ES) Voor de woordpuzzelaars is er bij `woord begint met` ook de optie om te zien of het woord in onze scrabblewoordenlijst staat. De volgorde van de menu's is aan te passen zodat -bijvoorbeeld- je meest gebruikte woordenboek altijd vooraan de lijst staat. Als de letters te klein zijn is er de mogelijkheid om de tekstgrootte aan te passen. Het melden van fouten en aandragen van nieuwe suggesties waarderen we zeer, dit kan via de app gebeuren.
