WordWeb is an international Englishdictionary and thesaurus program for Microsoft Windows, iOS, Android and Mac OS X. The program is partly based on the WordNet database.
Functions[edit]
The program is activated by holding down CTRL and right-clicking on a word in almost any program. This opens the WordWeb main window, with definitions and other help.
The program usually resides in the tray.
- Phrase guessing – for example, CTRL + right-clicking on the 'Princeton' in 'Princeton University' will show the meaning of the combined entity rather than only 'Princeton'.
- Words from pictures – CTRL + right-clicking on a word within an image (for example, the 'Free' in the Wikipedia logo) will ask WordWeb to guess the word.
Information[edit]
The thesaurus is integrated into the dictionary; synonyms, as well as detailed categorization of the relationship between words, are shown under the definition. The program shows:
- type of ('daisy' is listed as a type of 'flower')
- types ('play' lists several sub-types of play, including 'passion play')
- parts (under 'forest', listed parts include 'tree' and 'underbrush')
- part of ('bumper' is a part of a 'car', 'truck', or 'machine')
- similar (words that are not synonyms, but nearby; 'big' is listed as similar to 'huge')
Users can also actively improve the dictionary and thesaurus by submitting errors (such as missing words/phrases/senses) and enhancement requests.
Versions[edit]
The program has two versions: the free version (which does not have the word list, search, anagram, or customization features), and the paid version, called 'WordWeb Pro'.
WordWeb 5 added the ability to list entries from three web sources: Wikipedia, Wiktionary, and WordWeb Online. These details are presented in three separate tabs, which are built into the client application. Version 6 added audio pronunciations and support for third-party Oxford and Chambers add-on dictionaries.
WordWeb 7 is mainly a content upgrade, with revised definition and sound database, but also has significantly updated one-click support for latest browsers and 64-bit programs.Changes in this version include:1) New and revised definitions and related words2) Updated audio pronunciations3) Improved one-click integration with other programs4) Better one-click 64-bit and Windows 8 program support5) Keyboard hotkeys for Bookmark menu items6) Auto-detect support for latest 3-rd party Concise Oxford and Merriam-Webster

WordWeb 8 includes one-click and keyboard lookup, including in Thunderbird and FireFox without plugin.[1] Support for Windows XP was dropped.[2]

No version of WordWeb (including Pro) is available for Unix, however, it can be used with Wine. A similar program which includes some of WordWeb Pro's features, Artha is available for both Linux and Windows; a port to Macintosh is promised.[3] Artha too is based on the WordNet database.
