Has anyone found a dictionary that works well with
NVDA?

I used to use WordWeb, and had no problems with it and NVDA. This was several years ago, though, so I'm not sure how accessible it is (or even if it's still available) these days.

It is still available but a little tedious to me. I
had to hunt to find the edit field to type the word I was looking for. I was
hoping that definitions would have been in paragraph style rather than a table
with every word a link.

Wordweb 9 - current free version seems usable with NvDA/simple enough: Jacob Kruger Blind Biker

I don’t have the current version, I don’t use it much but I use screen
review to look at the results. Also, I have no problem typing a word and
then activating the search button in my version. When I open the program,
I am already in the edit field, which I believe may acgtually be something else
like a combo box. I type the word, then tab, I believe once, to the search
button and press the space bar. I then use screen review to look at the
results. its more likely you will see everything and its easier than
tabbing to the right place and looking in other ways.
You can try the program and see if it is still laid out and works similarly
to my version.
It has an insulting and intrusive license agreement. The developer is
obsessed with airline travel as a way of determining who doesn’t have enough
money to justify using the demo as a free version and that is how you convert
the demo to the free version. When the demo time runs out, or when you
want, you certify that you haven’t flown more than something like two times in
the last year. And thus, the planet will be saved.

Hi to you all,
I agree with what Gene has said. I use it in the same way he
describes. Besides, when I type a word whose definition I wish, I
press enter and tab twice to the read only definition field. When
I studied English, I used Wordweb as much as possible. I use it
still. There are as many definitions contained in it as you wish.
It's good to use the screen review, because when you tab to the
definition read only field to read definitions, it sometimes
happens that you miss some examples and types of words such as:
verbs, nouns, pronouns, derived forms, etc, if you choose not to
use the screen review.
If you wish to get the most out of your Wordweb definitions, you
may have to obtain an internet connection. When you type a word
and you find no matches, then you go to the view menu in the
Wordweb interface, and then you need to find a submenu called In
web browser. In that case, wordweb consults some other definition
sources on the internet.
Enjoy your Wordweb, anyway. It offers much.
