Right now the market to sell more to the electronic dictionary, said vocabulary, and therefore easily ten thousands, and even vocabulary of 500,000 voices from selling, so that some consumers exciting. Yesterday, one of the industry, told reporters in the vocabulary of electronic dictionaries on the publicity, the companies reported widely used way of imaginary number, the smallest unit is million, insiders called the “million-band.” This means that every time the smallest change will be the “tens of thousands” of.
However, an increase in vocabulary of electronic dictionaries is not an easy task. The insiders have pointed out, when the vocabulary of more than 6-80000, the paper referred to a general dictionary will not be able to fully cover, so the need for a broader scope of the collection of finishing, followed by a large number of entry and proof-reading work, these require manual processing, but also the quality of proof-reading is demanding, this will increase the cost of soft electronic dictionary, and the base the greater the difficulty and cost of expansion will be higher. It is understood that the current market in general, only electronic dictionary 60000-80000’s vocabulary, there is little more than 110000-120000. Up to now, most vocabulary is listed on the two new “wenquxing”, respectively, 295,057 and 377,268. In the hard costs, the increase in vocabulary requirements of the electronic dictionary has more memory, which will also increase the cost. Therefore, currently on the market which claims to have 500,000 of the electronic dictionary vocabulary is simply impossible to exist.
