Portable WordNet Browser

Portable Wordnet Browser is an educational and easy-to-use program designed to offer an efficient way to search and study the means of a word you don't know. It features parts of speech filter, synonyms, antonyms, derivates, and hyponyms.

The app comes as a small executable file that doesn't require any prior setup, so it can be dropped on external drives and directly launched on any computers. Due to the fact it's portable, it doesn't create entries in the registry, nor leaves traces after deletion.

It's wrapped in a plain and outdated interface with a search bar and a result console. The menu is simple and lightweight, accessible even for novices. The process is not complicated, all you need to do is type in the desired word and hit enter.

Almost instantly, the tool displays all the similar nouns, adjectives, adverbs or verbs it can find. The inputted term is highlighted as default with red, however, the color may vary from a computer to another. Sadly, the other elements are displayed with a normal font and tint, making it hard to read. The tool provides multiple definitions and examples, to easily understand each term.

You can quickly switch between various parts of speech and categories, by simply clicking on them. The content can be copied and pasted into documents for further use. What's more, you are able to view the search history and access words directly from there. From the options, the app lets you disable the help, show descriptive gloss, wrap the lines for easy reading, as well as set the font, the maximum history length, and advanced settings.

Taking everything into consideration, Portable Wordnet Browser is a useful and user-friendly program designed to offer a simple yet efficient method to search for particular terms you don't have knowledge of, and improve your vocabulary by learning new synonyms.
