According to Fast Company, SpanishDict was being accessed by over 9 million users per month in 2013.[5] In 2014, the Washington Post reported that SpanishDict reached over 12 million users per month.[1] During the COVID-19 pandemic, SpanishDict and its accompanying product for English learners, inglés.com, reached over 100 million people annually.[2]
SpanishDict is often cited as a resource in academic journal articles in the fields of language acquisition[6][7][8] and linguistics.[9][10][11][12]
