<p>In an electronic dictionary data E of a word indexed (index word) C and the description D for the index word C are stored in a large capacity memory medium (ROM), and the data E is read from the memory medium by means of a ROM player, thereby making it possible to effect display, printing or sound output. An index word C once indexed and all or a portion of its description are automatically or manually preserved in a memory of the ROM player to prepare a word list. Thus, a learning assistance function is provided to call necessary words from the list, thus permitting a user to conduct a memory text or the like. The electronic dictionary may be used as an electronic single language dictionary in which the word indexed (index word) C and its description D are indicated by a single language, e.g. the English-English dictionary etc. or may be used as an electronic multiple or plural language dictionary in which the index word C and its description D are indicated by different languages e.g., the English-Japanese dictionary etc.</p> |
