If you write many articles, you probably know what a pain it is to have to
regularly skim through a heavy dictionary to find the word you're looking
for. Luckily there's a whole batch of lexicon applications that'll send
it back to the shelf (or in the trash can) forever. WordWeb is the perfect
example of this type of dictionary and thesaurus combo in a hands-on
interface. What you're looking for in a dictionary application is something
you can open in a click, paste your word, and immediately get the results.
You get that in Wordweb via system tray integration, and a Ctrl+Alt+W hot key
combination. On install WordWeb will ask you the English locale you will use,
such as Australian, Canadian American or New Zealander. The program keeps a
history of your searches and you can quickly access them via the side arrows.
You can refine your search by selecting word category like nouns, verbs,
adjectives and adverbs and decide to show pronunciation, usage and offensive
or vulgar words. WordWeb isn't associated to any world famous reliable
dictionary like Webster's ,preferring its very own online source,
comprising of more than 240,000 words and updated regularly, according to the
developer. The heart of WordWeb resides in the results tabs, although the
difference between them all wasn't obvious from the start. After a bit of
testing we found that the "nearest" tab showed you the preceding and
following words in the dictionary, "see also" was a suggestion of related
words and "similar" presented a word that resembled your search but had a
slightly different meaning. "Types" goes down to the meaning of the word,
for example solid "types" will be plastic, crystal or block. The "type
of" tab is another variation. "Types of" solid will be substance, state
or form. These tools will be particularly helpful if you feel limited by your
vocabulary and are looking to diversify your choice of words in the document
you are writing. WordWeb is a reliable dictionary and thesaurus with a
simple, hands-on approach. It is an ideal partner to fight off writer's
block and improve your vocabulary. The online dictionary is a rich source and
WordWeb should help you out of any mind jam whenever you're writing an
article.Download *WordWeb 6.7* in Softonic
