Using Harper Collins Cd in conjuncton with Supermemory.

Hello,
Could someone please answer these three questions for me.

1 I understand that you must copy the entire page of the Collins Cd into the Supermemory definition box and then delete 99% of it in order to obtain the word itself. Is this still quicker than manually tyoing in dfinition from the paper version of the dictionary or not? ( I am a slow typist)

2. Can the sounds of the Cd be used with SM to ensure correct pronounciation.

3 Is there an online dictionary which I could copy and paste defintions into Supermemory which is quicker than the Collins dictionary.

Thank you to anyone who helps me answer these.
Kind regards Simon

Howdy,

1. I usually prefer to type the definition manually from the software version, but I am a fast typist.
The problem with the paper version is that it takes so much time to look up a word.

2. You can't copy sounds over to SuperMemo.

3. Online dictionaries are generally slower than CD-ROM dictionaries. You could try the CALD or the OALD.

The OALD could be faster if you have a good Internet connection, but its definitions are not nearly as nice as COBUILD's.
