As well as a new design, the website is also structured with two different areas, one for regular users and another for professionals. So each user can more easily access the content he or she wants. From the users’ section, you can download Dixio Desktop and access interesting information about e-readers that include our smart dictionary or new content that is added to the tool.

The section for professionals is specifically aimed at dictionary publishers, e-reader and tablet manufacturers and schools.

It’s for publishers because the site provides them with information about our dictionary digitization service, aimed at their subsequent integration in reading devices with Dixio technology (Dixio eReader Solution). Dictionaries digitized with our eDix format also enable publishers to enhance digital books.

It’s for e-reader and tablet manufacturers, because it provides them with information about Dixio eReader Solution. It is the most advanced dictionary management and look-up technology on the market and enables integration of the Semantix API in e-readers and tablets or reading applications.

And it’s for schools because we want them to learn about Dixio, our smart dictionary, and its possibilities in the world of teaching. The site shows the advantages of Dixio Desktop, which students can use on their computers, and Dixio ForWeb, which is installed on websites and turns information into knowledge.

Ultimately, our new website is simpler, more intuitive and more usable. Feel free to take a look at it! You can also follow us on Twitter or Linkedin. You will be hearing from us again shortly, as we are preparing the inclusion of new languages in Dixio.

Tagus eReader has entered Casa del Libro stores in the best possible way. It is the first device to include Diccionario de la Lengua Española edited by Real Academia Española (RAE) with Dixio technology. The most renowned of all Spanish dictionaries and Dixio, the smart dictionary technology, have joined forces to provide the best possible content at a touch.

Diccionario de la Lengua Española, with more than 88,000 entries, has been digitized in .dix format, with which Dixio technology now recognized more than 4,780,000 terms (conjugated verbs, plurals, feminine nouns, idioms, derivatives or verbs with atonic pronouns). The version of the smart dictionary for Tagus eReader also includes three other dictionaries, Wordnet for definitions in English and the Semantix Spanish-English and English-Spanish bilingual dictionaries.

The readers who use this new e-reader will thus have all the features of the smart dictionary. When they tap a word that they do not understand, Dixio analyses the context, detects the language and instantly displays the best definition or translation in a pop-up window, without the reader having to first select a dictionary.

Tagus eReader, at the price of 119 €, measures 154 x 125 x 10.9 mm and weighs 244 g. It has a six inch e-ink screen, 2 GB of internal memory and Wifi connection and is compatible with PDF, EPUB, TXT, CHM, FB2 or DJVU text formats.

Casa del Libro has designed this e-reader to be connected to its own online store, helping the user to buy digital books. The device can access the book cloud both online and offline, from any browser, smartphone or tablet, or from the e-reader itself. Another of its particularities is that it includes social functions so that readers can share notes or questions about books.

Also note that, until 31 January 2012, Tagus eReader will be sold with the Planeta Award winning novel El Imperio eres tú, by Javier Moro.

With the digitization of Diccionario de la Lengua Española, Real Academia Española and Editorial Espasa (Grupo Planeta) have taken a major step forwards in encouraging the use of dictionaries, helping readers to instantly look up words without being distracted from their reading. This should also be an incentive for other publishers with dictionaries or encyclopaedias in their catalogues.

On November 22, 23 and 24, Madrid’s convention centre (Palacio de Congresos) will be housing the International Digital Content Forum (FICOD 2011), aimed at strengthening the relationship between the digital content industry and the sector’s developers.

Semantix will be participating in the programme with a talk entitled “The e-book enriched”, by Business Development Manager, Susana Martín. During the conference, she will refer to the success of the Movistar ebook bq, the first e-reader on the market to use Dixio, the smart dictionary. She will also be presenting the new digitization format (.dix) for e-books, which facilitates word look-up capabilities.

FICOD, organized by Red.es, was created in 2005 under the auspices of the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade and the Secretary of State for Telecommunications. Besides exhibiting the capabilities of the Spanish-American digital content industry, FICOD has programmed round tables, workshops, debates, networking sessions and other special activities for this edition.
