A dictionary is a collection of words listed alphabetically with definitions, explanations, pronunciations, etymologies or usage details. The same term may also refer to a collection of terms in any given language and their equivalents in another one.

Virtual dictionaries are apps that, once installed on a Mac, will allow their users to easily search for definitions or synonyms using a user-friendly interface.

This type of apps are usually based on several online dictionaries and are meant to greatly reduce the time spent on searching for trustworthy sources.
