WordWeb download

5 0 515  

With WordWeb you're able to look up all those difficult words on the Internet - a perfect dictionary.

If you ever encounter a word that you do not understand the meaning of, or that you do not understand in the chosen context, WordWeb can be the program for you. Often, you need to get a dictionary forward or search for word explanations on the web to get an answer to its incomprehensibility. With WordWeb you just have to click on the word, and then the explanation pops up. You can, of course, also use the program as a classic dictionary that is on your computer and which you can freely search.

With WordWeb, you can search for glossaries, synonyms, antonyms, word types, similar words, and more. In addition, dictionary users can help improve it by submitting potential errors and possible improvements. Unfortunately, it is only available in English.

Use both off and online

The program was initially created to enable you to turn up difficult and incomprehensible words from programs on your computer. Initially, the purpose was that IT users could use it as an aid to using programs that contained words that they might not fully understand. Since then, however, it was further developed as the developers saw that many users wanted the same opportunities on the Internet. Therefore, they continued working on the program so that it now also functions online. Thus, you can beat all words you meet on the Internet, and just a few seconds later, you know exactly what this means. This makes it much easier, for example, to reply quickly back to an email, where the words may be a bit too academic for you, while you also do not have to spend time pulling the dictionary forward every time you encounter a foreign word in an article or the like. A single click takes just one second, after which you quickly have the explanation of the word.

How to enable WordWeb

Of course, once the program is downloaded and installed, you can open it at any time by finding it on your computer. However, this can be an easier frustrating process of having to open the program and search every time you want a word explained. Therefore, WordWeb has made it so simple that you can hold your computer's CTRL button in the keyboard while right-clicking on any word, which will open up WordWeb to this word's explanation. It takes just a few seconds to clear the word and you do not waste unnecessary time.

Based on WordNet

With a free program like this one might fear that the quality would not be trustworthy. However, this is fortunately not the case. WordWeb retrieves all its data from WordNet. WordNet is an online lexical database managed by Princeton University. It is therefore some of the world's wisest connoisseurs who make sure that all explanations and words are correct. You should never fear that the explanation you get from WordWeb does not match the correct interpretation.

Unfortunately only in English

The program works impeccably, however, it has one problem that it only works in English. You can therefore only speak English words, while the explanations you get are only available in English. It is therefore not possible, for example, to open a Danish word, and you cannot get the explanations in English either. The program is therefore most suitable for those who are already good at English, but who sometimes come across words that they do not understand or know the meaning of. If you are not comfortable with the English language, and if you encounter a foreign word that you do not understand, it is also not certain that you understand the explanation given in WordWeb, since this is also in English.

Alternatives

If you are looking for an alternative dictionary that can also search for Danish words, it is not WordWeb that you must get hold of. In return, you can try your hand at Gyldendal's Dictionary. This is the most widely used dictionary in Denmark. However, it requires a user to use it.

Other options may also be Ordbogen.com or Google Translate. Both can be like Gyldendals help you with word comprehension, synonyms, and more.

Availability

It is always important that you make sure that the program you download is compatible with the operating system found on your computer. Here you can download WordWeb for Windows, but if you are a Mac user, you can also enjoy the program. If you follow this link, you can read more about WordWeb for Mac while you can also download the program.

Conclusion

If you want to be able to quickly get explanations of all the difficult words you might encounter in various programs as well as on the Internet, then WordWeb can probably be a great gain for you. The program acts as a dictionary that gives you a lot of information about a word when you turn it up. For example, in addition to the explanation of the word, you can also see synonyms and antonyms for the word, while also giving examples of similar words. The program can be opened like any other program on your computer by clicking on its logo, but in addition you can also open it by simply holding the CTRL button on your keyboard while right-clicking on a word you want to hit up.

The program draws on WordNet's data, which is a dictionary created by Princeton University. You know that you get the right explanations for the words you look up. Unfortunately, this also means that the dictionary only works in English. Therefore, you cannot turn up Danish words or get the explanations in Danish. If you are looking for a Danish dictionary, you can appropriately take a look at Gyldendal's Dictionary, which you will find a link to under the section Options. There you will also find links to Ordbogen.com and Google Translate, which are also two very popular web pages for linguistic help. WordWeb is downloaded here on the page for Windows, but if you are a Mac user, you can also use the dictionary. Under the Availability section, you will find a link to download WordWeb for Mac.
