Visual Dictionary Online

Website: visual.merriam-webster.com

Launched in 2007, The Visual Dictionary Online is a free, indexed, audio-enhanced, topic-correlated extension of the hugely successful Merriam-Webster’s Visual Dictionary. Fifteen themes help narrow general searches, and the index search offers precise results among the reported thousands of English language definitions and related images. The “Blog This” feature lets non-profit groups or individuals post images and terms from the Visual Dictionary Online for non-commercial use, provided images and terms are not modified and the site is properly credited with a link back to the original image and associated term(s). Other unique features include real-voice audio pronunciation and a word association game to help users connect words with images.
