The Cancel button closes the Dictionary Card window without saving the changes.

The button (Word Forms) displays the grammatical forms of the current word.

The button (Sound) plays the pronunciation of the current word or phrase. The button is enabled only if the word or phrase was added from an ABBYY Lingvo card which had the sound facility.

The Transcription field displays the transcription of the current word or phrase.

Note:  

• For the correct display of transcription characters, add transcriptions from Lingvo cards, rather than typing them manually.
• Transcriptions must be 23 symbols or less. Longer transcriptions will not be displayed in the exercise window.

The Card status field shows the status of the card of the current word or phrase. You can change the status by clicking on the arrow to the right.
