Dixio arrives in the United States thanks to the Clearwater Academy

The Clearwater Academy has started to use Dixio Desktop and Dixio ForWeb as study tools.

The Clearwater Academy in Florida has started to use Dixio Desktop and Dixio ForWeb as study tools. The students are enthusiastic about this study support tool that provides them with the meanings of the words that they do not understand, immediately and without distracting their attention.

Traditional dictionaries provide a long list of definitions for each word, so students have to read them all before they can choose the meaning that best fits the context. This is where Dixio Desktop helps them. According to Denise Gentile, the Clearwater Academy Business Manager, “Students love Dixio. It makes it easier to look words up and gives them the right definition, better than other dictionaries. It has really helped them to study faster and seek better information on the Internet".According to the students, Dixio Desktop “is perfect”. They all say that “they will never use a printed dictionary again”.

The success of Dixio Desktop at the Clearwater Academy has led its governors and teachers to show interest in Dixio For Web, the version of Dixio that is installed on a website and enables users to understand what they are reading merely by clicking on the word in question.
