I’m still learning to use the app but have Already learned some useful phrases from it. There is a bit of a learning curve but not insurmountable. -- Shadowfire28, 2024-11-18 ### ***** "Best" I don’t care that the app hasn’t been updated in 7 years. Yes the interface is a little dated but it does everything I want. Translation apps have their place but this dictionary helps you learn Thai words as well as their constituent parts which is invaluable for me to understand and better learn the actual meaning of words in Thai. -- CalebC, 2024-10-11 ### ***** "Favorite app" Best app out there -- M27oe, 2024-09-23 ### ***** "This app nails it" My wife and I will travel to remote parts of Thailand later this year. We wanted to supplement in person lessons to practice Thai when we’re out and about to accelerate our learning. This app is just perfect to practice. We are quickly able to find the right words, phrases, and hear the pronunciations. Since Thai is a tonal language, pronounciation isn’t for showing off; it’s a necessity to convey your message. This app is a great job by the app makers. Many thanks! Khop kun khráp!! -- senseq, 2024-08-10 ### ***** "Absolutely phenomenal app to support learning Thai" I’ve tried off and on for years to learn Thai, and this is always the app I come back to. I’ve taken classes, private lessons, used Pimsleur lessons, use Google translate (to read signs, translate spoken sentences from English to Thai, etc). Each of those resources is very good for certain things, and this app can’t replace all of them, but it does support the broadest range of language learning skills (hearing, speaking, reading and writing) very well. If I hear someone say something in Thai, I can look it up using either the Paiboon Romanization system, or Thai (if I know how to write it). If I see some thing written in Thai, I can type the Thai in and learn to pronounce and translate it. If I need to tell someone something in Thai, I can write it in English then show them the Thai translation and start learning the Thai myself. It provides examples of grammatically correct usage for Thai words, and related Thai words. This is particularly helpful, e.g., in learning to distinguish the 10 different ways a word that sounds like “Mai” but with varying tones and spelling is used in Thai. I’ve learned French and Chinese pretty well so understand what’s required for a native English speaker to achieve fluency in another another European language or an Asian language and have used a wide range of language learning tools. This is both a translation tool and a customizable lesson book for learning Thai. I’d give it 9/10, the interface is clear and easy to learn to use, and the results it provides are always high quality. The only thing it needs to get 10/10 is sentence translation, now it only does words and common phrases. I wish Paiboon Publishing would make apps like this for all the other SE Asian languages I wish I could learn (Lao, Khmer, Vietnamese, Burmese, Bhasa, etc) -- JKW1585, 2024-08-03 ### ***** "Absolutely the best there is" Beer ever dictionary with voice samples so you actually know what the words sound like -- vanphototravel, 2024-07-19 ### ****- "Best Thai Leaning App for Those with Some Thai Language Skills" I’ve been using this app off and on for years. Lately (2024) I’ve notice that the input onscreen keyboard isn’t formatted to fit the screen on my iPad any longer. The lower portion is cut off. I check the last update version and this app hasn’t been updated for the past 6 years. I still find it useful though. I always liked the Thai phonetic sound test input feature. The app only works with the on-screen keyboard provided in the app… Cannot use the iPad onscreen keyboard or and external keyboard. The publisher of this app, Paiboon Publishing, has been producing Thai dictionaries, phrase books, tapes, and learning materials since the early 1970’s and probably well before that. All there materials are very helpful in learning and improving your Thai language skills. I’m sorry they stopped updating this app. Since the basic Thai language doesn’t change much except for more recent technical terms this app is still useful. -- 1500Contacts, 2024-02-21 ### ***** "Best Thai Dictionary I've Found" I've been using this for several years now. My wife is Thai and this has been a great help in talking with my in-laws. It's not only a dictionary but also has classfiers for all the nouns, can function as a phrasebook, and you can tap on the little speaker icon to hear the word pronounced by a native Thai speaker with the correct tonation. Is it a little pricey as apps go? Maybe a little but this app is well worth it. -- Brother-J, 2024-01-23 ### ***** "Used it for years and years." I have had this app since I got a smart phone after first learning basic Thai from the first to Paiboon cassette and books (green one and a red one). Love the app. Use it all the time. -- Mangocreek888, 2023-11-23 ### ***** "Best Thai Dictionary, with some room for improvement" This is the best and by far the most extensive Thai dictionary I have found online, and the developer is responsive and communicative. Excellent! In honesty, I would say that the app is not yet 100% user-unfriendly. Switching between Eng and Thai is kinda funky, and there have been problems with the paste text into search box function. But the developer assures me they’re working on it and continuing to support the app. This is an amazing dictionary for one of the most difficult languages in the world. Excellent app, highly recommended. นี่คือพจนานุกรมภาษาไทยที่ดีที่สุดและเป็นพจนานุกรมภาษาไทยที่ครอบคลุมที่สุดเท่าที่ฉันพบทางออนไลน์ และผู้พัฒนาก็ตอบสนองและสื่อสารได้ดี ยอดเยี่ยม! พูดตามตรง ฉันจะบอกว่าแอปนี้ยังไม่เป็นมิตรกับผู้ใช้ 100% การสลับระหว่างภาษาอังกฤษและภาษาไทยค่อนข้างจะขี้ขลาด และมีปัญหากับการวางข้อความลงในฟังก์ชันช่องค้นหา แต่นักพัฒนารับรองกับฉันว่าพวกเขากำลังดำเนินการและสนับสนุนแอปต่อไป นี่คือพจนานุกรมที่น่าทึ่งสำหรับหนึ่งในภาษาที่ยากที่สุดในโลก แอพที่ยอดเยี่ยม แนะนำเป็นอย่างยิ่ง -- Ted Fred McShrew, 2023-10-06 [View all Talking Thai <> English Dictionary reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Talking Thai <> English Dictionary Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Thailand | Reference | #13 | | Top Paid | Singapore | Reference | #17 | | Top Paid | Malaysia | Reference | #31 | | Top Paid | Finland | Reference | #52 | | Top Paid | Vietnam | Reference | #56 | | Top Paid | Denmark | Reference | #67 | | Top Paid | Sweden | Reference | #67 | | Top Paid | Hong Kong SAR China | Reference | #67 | | Top Paid | Netherlands | Reference | #72 | | Top Paid | Norway | Reference | #77 | | Top Paid | Australia | Reference | #79 | | Top Paid | Israel | Reference | #82 | | Top Paid | New Zealand | Reference | #85 | | Top Paid | South Korea | Reference | #88 | | Top Paid | Taiwan | Reference | #89 | | Top Paid | Indonesia | Reference | #91 | | Top Paid | Kuwait | Reference | #104 | | Top Paid | Philippines | Reference | #111 | | Top Paid | Belarus | Reference | #118 | | Top Paid | United Arab Emirates | Reference | #119 | | Top Paid | Belgium | Reference | #128 | | Top Paid | Greece | Reference | #129 | | Top Paid | India | Reference | #138 | | Top Paid | Ireland | Reference | #144 | | Top Paid | Russia | Reference | #149 | | Top Paid | United Kingdom | Reference | #149 | | Top Paid | Pakistan | Reference | #152 | | Top Paid | France | Reference | #164 | | Top Paid | Switzerland | Reference | #170 | | Top Paid | Canada | Reference | #175 | | Top Paid | Spain | Reference | #175 | | Top Paid | Japan | Reference | #179 | | Top Paid | United States | Reference | #182 | | Top Paid | Austria | Reference | #203 | | Top Paid | South Africa | Reference | #205 | | Top Paid | Germany | Reference | #205 | | Top Paid | Hungary | Reference | #225 | | Top Paid | Argentina | Reference | #243 | ## Talking Thai <> English Dictionary Discovered Keywords -
