Word Browser, from I-Merge, provides a very unique interface for looking up definitions and related words, like synonyms.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/adrian/wordbrowser.jpg" /><br /><br />• Complete set of WordNet database. It has 135,000 entries with definitions and various usages<br />• Multiple meanings of a word in different contexts<br />• Same meaning of word (Synonym)<br />• Opposite meaning of word (Antonym)<br />• User friendly interface with easy navigation <br />• History lookup<br /><br />As you can tell from the screen shot, it's the graphical interace that makes this dictionary so unusual. Using a tree structure and drop-down hierarchies, you can show or hide just the parts of the dictionary you want to. I'm going to download the demo and take it for a spin. I can always use a little more help with my vocabulary and spelling!
