Explanatory English dictionaries are fast and useful applications that make it easier for you to find out the definition of any word in a snap.

Shorter Oxford English Dictionary is a simpler version of the 20-volume Oxford Dictionary of English, and includes more than 600000 words, definitions and phrases that you can access at any given time.

The application provides you with quick access to 80000 quotations, more than 100000 etymologies and audio pronunciation.

Shorter Oxford English Dictionary gives you the ability to perform pattern searches as well as enter spelling suggestions and, unlike similar dictionaries, allows you to perform full text searches and helps you view random word definitions.

You can purchase the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary from the Mac App Store for 24.99$. Upon starting Shorter Oxford English Dictionary you'll gain access to its main window where you can initiate a new search.

Searching for a word is quite easy, you just have to type the word in the search panel located on the upper side of the main window. After that you just have to press Enter and that's it.

The audio pronunciation feature is a good addition to an already great package, and allows you quick access to the correct pronunciation of any supported English word.

To sum up, Shorter Oxford English Dictionary is a very good application for teachers and students, but it can also be used by professionals in various lines in work. It's fast, doesn't require web access and it's very easy to use. I definitely recommend that you give it a try, if you're on the lookout for a good dictionary.
