Note: Oxford Dict has been replaced by our new (and improved!) PlecoDict Basic software, and is no longer available for sale.

Downloads

For help with downloading/installation, consult the online manual.

Note: If you attempt to download a file and end up with a screen full of nonsense characters, right-click (or Control-click if you're using a Mac) on the link and choose "Save Link As..." or "Save Target As..." - this should allow you to save the file to your computer's hard drive.

Demo Version

The demo version of Oxford Dict is no longer available, as we've replaced it with our new PlecoDict Basic product (which is essentially just a revamped version of Oxford Dict with a new name). See the PlecoDict download page for a demo of that.
