## Description

A dictionary can be imported from FLEx, or started from a Rapid Word Collection workshop. Webonary supports a variety of scripts and writing systems. Dictionaries include a search tool that can search for entry words and words in the definitions or other entry text.

Dictionaries can enable comments from users, to permit community feedback.

Currently over  300 dictionaries are published on the site.

## Testimonials

> The Webonary dictionary is, in my view, a substantially more usable lexical resource than what was previously available. In particular, the searchability and the audio files have made it much easier for Triquis to use the dictionary and find the words that they want.
