TranCreative Software has a couple of word-related programs they've just launched. One is a huge dictionary and the other is a great word finder.
WordBook is a 135,000 word dictionary. What makes it different from the others I've seen is its installation of an "eyedropper" capability. When in any text application, you can highlight a word, tap the eyedropper icon, and the word's definition is automatically looked up and displayed in WordBook.
WordMaster is an application I've waited YEARS for, ever since I gave up my Psion Series 5x. WordMaster performs word searches to help with word puzzles and games. For example, for crossword puzzle lovers, when you type in words with missing letters, WordMaster displays a list of words that could match. The amazing thing is that TranCreative also provides 10 separate, specialized word lists to make your searches even more powerful.
You can download a free demo of each from Handango or buy the full version of WordBook for $17.90 or of WordMaster for $9.94.
If you're a real cheapskate, though, you can wait a few days and see if you're one of the winners of a TransCreative word bundle! TransCreative is giving away copy of both WordBook and WordMaster to five lucky Thoughts readers. We'll randomly select the winners in a few days from our database of all registered Thoughts readers, so make sure you're registered!
