Frequently asked questions
Is FreeDict really free to use?
Yes. Every part of FreeDict — the dictionary, thesaurus, etymology, translations, pronunciation practice, flashcards and quizzes — is free, with no paywall and no sign-up required to look words up.
What makes FreeDict different from other online dictionaries?
Most dictionary sites split their features across separate tools or even separate sites — one for definitions, another for a thesaurus, another for translations. FreeDict puts the definition, thesaurus, word origin, pronunciation and translations for a word all on one page, plus a pronunciation checker that listens to you say the word out loud.
Can I check my pronunciation on FreeDict?
Yes. Every word page has a "Practice saying it" tool: you can hear the word in British or American English, record yourself and play it back, and use "Check me" to have your browser listen and tell you whether you said it correctly.
What languages can I translate on FreeDict?
FreeDict has free bilingual dictionaries for dozens of language pairs, each with pronunciation, gender, examples and usage notes rather than a single machine-translated word. See the full list on the Translate page.
Does FreeDict have a thesaurus?
Yes. Every word links to ranked synonyms and antonyms, ordered by how commonly each one is actually used, so you can find a natural replacement rather than an obscure near-match.
Where does FreeDict get its definitions from?
FreeDict's definitions and etymologies draw on established open dictionaries and lexical databases, reviewed and integrated by our editorial team. Every entry records where its data comes from — see the Sources and Attributions page for the full list.
