Portable TheSage English Dictionary and Thesaurus

Those who wish to study English have numerous resources to do so. If you're perceptive and eager enough, resources are everywhere you look: on the web, in movies, music, games, and so forth. Especially with the tide of globalization in the last few decades, English is more and more present as a language.

However, keeping track of all the words and definitions is very much trial and error. There's a process to all of this, so having a dictionary and thesaurus at the ready can be of great use. TheSage English Dictionary and Thesaurus is, per its name, a resource to help users ascertain some of the meanings and intricacies of the English language.

This is a portable program, meaning that the user can store it on a USB drive and launch it directly from there. This way, the program is very easy to deploy in any situation, as there's no time to waste with installing anything, so you can pull up the dictionary anytime you need.

The dictionary itself works much like any other dictionary out there: type in a word, and it'll bring up the relevant definitions and forms of said word. Information is presented very clearly, making it quite easy to learn new words and study their meanings.

As one could expect, given the name, a thesaurus function is available. This way, users can learn of different synonyms, antonyms, derived, as well as similar words to help them better their knowledge.

Users also have access to a host of different features, such as Wildcard, Anagram, Etymologer, Phonetic, Rhyme, and Concordancer. In practice, these all work towards the same goal — to help the user improve their English speaking and writing, each in its own ways.

Wildcard serves to provide a more condensed version of a word's definitions. The relevant meanings will be presented right away, within an easily digestible form.

As the name suggests, Anagram rearranges the letters from any given word, presenting the user with different terms that are not necessarily related.

Etymologer is all about...knowledge. Knowledge about the history behind the terms, and how they came to be: type in a word, and it'll uncover relevant data about its origins.

Phonetic was a bit of a rocky one, as any word we'd input would return no results. Still, by way of this function, users should be able to learn how to pronounce certain words.

Rhyme can be of use to songwriters, or those who just like writing poetry. Words that rhyme well may be tough to find in some cases, but with a tool like this by your side, that becomes a little easier.

Input a term into Concordancer, and it'll present you with contexts in which the term can be used, along with synonyms for the given linguistic context.

There's also an Online menu, which automatically searches on Wikitionary, Wikipedia, and Google Translate to help users with their learning process.

TheSage English Dictionary and Thesaurus is quite the valuable tool in one's repertoire: it's easy to boot up and get started with, and the numerous tools it affords you to master the English language can be valuable for any user.
