Power Thesaurus is a dedicated thesaurus program designed for Windows PCs. With a simple search, an individual can find synonyms or antonyms for a chosen word. Over a million words are included in this thesaurus, and no internet connection is required for access. A quick download gives an individual the power to find the words they need to complete an email, essay, or even a novel. While Power Thesaurus is a simple program, powerful search tools and a diverse library of words make it a must-download for nearly anyone.

A Thesaurus That Lives On A Windows Desktop

Since Power Thesaurus is mostly text and a few design elements, the program doesn't take up too much storage space. Plus, downloading and installing the program takes mere minutes on a modest internet connection, which is always a positive. Users can get started with the program right away without the need to create an account. Power Thesaurus is a standalone program that doesn't need an internet connection or further downloads to function. Such a simple program is a welcome commodity in today's world.

Find Synonyms and Antonyms With A Powerful Search Engine

Power Thesaurus includes its own search engine for finding synonyms and antonyms of words. As a user types a word, various suggestions will pop up under the search bar. Users can continue typing out their word or they can select from one of the suggested options. Either way, they're bound to find the word they need, whether they're looking for a synonym or an antonym. The program's search engine works well and can be customized with a few different settings to streamline the searching process each time.

Although synonyms and antonyms are provided, Power Thesaurus is not a dictionary. Users won't find full definitions or examples of words here. That might frustrate some users looking for a fully involved dictionary/thesaurus combination. Few of those programs are available, so that's not too surprising. Also, Power Thesaurus features a nice search engine, but the overall user interface is somewhat bland and boring. Nobody would consider this program a marvel in the aesthetics department.

In the end, Power Thesaurus is an excellent program with very few downsides. Virtually anyone can benefit from using the program to find synonyms and antonyms of words. The fact that over a million words are included in the program is a nice feature. Users won't run out of words to use in their own writing anytime soon. On top of that, Power Thesaurus is free to download and use, so an individual doesn't need to worry about paying a one-time fee or monthly subscription charge.
