CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Whether you are a poet, a rapper, or a marketing writer, there will come a time when inspiration leaves you, and this is where the McGill English Dictionary of Rhyme can help. Operating the program's somewhat drab, nonresizeable interface is a snap. You simply enter a word in the search box, and the application instantly displays rhyming terms in one of three columns. The first column is for standard, straight-up rhymes; the second is for rhyming phrases; and the third is for Roundex rhymes, or words that sound similar but don't actually rhyme. While the app's feature set is rather small, you will find a dictionary and an option for displaying all three types of rhymes in one scheme. Anyone who routinely works with words will probably want to keep this freebie around.Publisher's description

Version: McGill English Dictionary of Rhyme with VersePerfect 2
Pros: I was only looking for something basic for rhyming but this thing automatically counts syllables too. Plus its got a word editor so you can type your songs/poems right into it or do a copy and paste from your favorite app. I just started using it, so I have yet to find any cons.

Version: McGill English Dictionary of Rhyme with VersePerfect 2
"Forget MS Word this is so much better in so many ways!"
Pros: I've been using this product for about six weeks and can't get enough of it. It's an amazing tool as a songwriter and a scholar. It has inspired me to rework many of my unpublished poems and stories, in addition to becoming my everyday tool for writing letters, emails and more. If you're a songwriter, an author, a student, or the average administrator who just wants to spice up their daily writing style--this is a great product. I can't believe it's free.
