<![CDATA[This study analyzes the needs of an Android-based Acehnese-Indonesian dictionary for the vocational field. The needs analysis ensures alignment with user expectations. The instrument is tested for validity and reliability, with the product-moment correlation showing an r-value higher than the table value, and Cronbach's alpha exceeding 0.6, confirming its validity and reliability. Data were collected using purposive sampling through questionnaires distributed to 100 Acehnese speakers in West Aceh, Greater Aceh, North Aceh, and Lhokseumawe. The results showed that 87% supported the development of the dictionary, 87% wanted features such as images, pronunciation, and IPA writing, 84% considered audio important, and 79% preferred technical vocabulary, category-based search, and offline access. The novelty of this study lies in its user-driven approach, integrating interactive features that are essential for vocabulary acquisition. Unlike conventional bilingual dictionaries, this study focuses on vocational terminology, preserving the Acehnese language while enhancing its practical use. High user demand and a rigorous validation process ensure that the developed instruments accurately capture user needs, laying a solid foundation for further development.]]>
