Would you like to express yourself in a refined inflated style using various synonyms and epithets? We shouldn't underestimate the language we speak. Our speech not only characterizes our personalities, it influences our minds and lives. With the program WordWeb Pro we have a chance to enlarge our vocabulary and liberalize.

WordWeb Pro presents a quick and powerful international English thesaurus and dictionary for Windows. It can be used to lookup words from almost any Windows program, showing definitions, synonyms and related words. There are also many proper nouns and usage examples. You can search for words matching a pattern, find and solve anagrams, and optionally search a large number of extra word lists.

If you are accustomed to paper dictionaries and thesaurus, WordWeb will please you with the great variety of synonyms and different functions suggested by this program. For example, along with the synonym of a demanded word you will be able to see related words, which belong to the nearest, parts or types of an initial word.

Also, WordWeb allows you to filter words to find what you want. So, clicking on a sense number shows only synonyms and related words for that word sense. Clicking on the "Noun" button filters the synonyms to show you only noun senses, and double clicking on any word takes you immediately to its definition. It will also suggest the correct form for many common misspellings.

To find necessary words you should just type a starting one in the special box. Firstly, the program will define which part of speech this word belongs to, then, it will show you all its possible synonyms, nearest words, parts and types of the given word. Also, you'll be given an access to web dictionary and you'll be able to resort to the possibilities of web search.

In this way, WordWeb not only finds synonyms of words, but also a whole host of other words related in some way to the search word.

This program is very simple and available in usage. The system tray is usually at the bottom right of the screen, at the end of the Windows taskbar. The WordWeb icon is shown when WordWeb is running, you should just click on it with the mouse to show WordWeb at any time. You can also right-click on the icon to see a menu of other options.

As for other options, what the most important from my point of view is that you can choose an appropriate type of English language, for example Canadian or Australian one and so on.

If you use WordWeb Pro, undoubtedly, soon you'll surprise yourself and your friends having become a first-rate linguist.

I love this program. I've used it in my classroom and it comes in handy for spelling bees! You simply type in a word and you get definition(s) along with other information.
