I am not certain how I am going to tie this into virtual reality, but I want all you VTOR readers and authors to know about this little piece of software I recently found.  This program has caused me to become totally dependent on its work.

The program is called WordWeb, and “WordWeb is a quick and powerful international English thesaurus and dictionary for Windows. It can be used to look up words from almost any program, showing definitions, synonyms and related words. It includes pronunciations and usage examples, and has helpful spelling and sounds-like links.”

Have you ever been reading an article and find words you do not have a clue what mean? With WordWeb you simply highlight that word and open wordweb from the task bar and the highlighted word is already in the look up space and the look up has already taken place.

There are tabs for the definition, Synonyms, antonyms, type of, types, Similar, and nearest words.

I seriously love this little piece of software…

You may use the program free of charge indefinitely only if

  • You take at most 4 flights (2 return flights) in any 12 month period
  • AND you do not own or regularly drive an SUV (sports utility vehicle).

If you do not qualify you must uninstall the program after the 30-day trial period or purchase WordWeb Pro. The licence is designed to provide a small incentive for people with massively unsustainable emissions to cut down.

If you qualify for the free version you  can download it here.
