Reviewed by: CNET Staff
WordWeb is a handy utility that gives you the definition, synonyms, and antonyms of any given word without requiring you to go online, though it can connect to the Internet for expanded functionality should you want it.
The interface feels like an expanded version of any major word processing app's dictionary function, giving users an instant familiarity--even if they've never used WordWeb. After you type a term into the Lookup dialog box, the word's definition will appear in the interface's top pane, along with tabs that link to various wiki functions.
The bottom pane offers tabs for such items as synonyms, antonyms, and related words. The app's most notable feature is its hot key support; you simply use a hot key combo when the cursor is pointed over any word, and WordWeb will pop up onscreen with all pertinent information.
There are tools for changing the database to one of several English variations, altering the text size, and disabling WordWeb from recognizing offensive terms. The depth and functionality of WordWeb would be worth paying for, but thankfully you don't have to redefine your budget to get it--it's free.
Publisher's description
From WordWeb Software :WordWeb is a thesaurus and dictionary that can be used from several different word processors or on its own. In addition to displaying definitions and synonyms, WordWeb can find sets of related words. It comes with a template file so you can use it directly from Microsoft Word 6.0, 7.0, or 97. You can use macros with AmiPro, Word Pro 96, and Word 2.0. It has an expanded and improved database of more than 120,000 root words and 100,000 synonym sets. This version fixes some errors in the database and enhances the user interface.
