Your Mac has its Look Up tool for getting quick definitions and other details about a word or phrase. But if you’re brand new to Mac, you might not realize that there’s an actual Dictionary app. This app that comes with your Mac can be quite useful too.
What makes the Dictionary app on Mac handy is that you can customize it with the sources you want. This lets you get information on something from Wikipedia, a synonym with the thesaurus, and of course, a definition with the Oxford Dictionary. Plus, you can have the option of multiple languages.
If you’re curious about the Dictionary app on your Mac, or want to allow your child to use it for schoolwork, here’s how to customize and use it.
