The latest version of TheSage has pronunciations (plus speech!) and many more tools (custom online searches, concordances, etc). It’s brilliant. I’ve been using it for years now. Top of my list. Anyway, I thought I would give you guys the heads up.

“I need something that’ll rival what I can get from Thesaurus.com without the hassle (and %#$*&! pop-ups!).”

I never noticed any pop-ups from them… but then again, I use Firefox (which not only blocks the pops, but allows me to search thesaurus.com from a keyword). P

I finally got over with it!!
It’s a nice looking program, but seem to miss few vital features , like the pronunciation hint which is present in the free version of WordWeb.

And it’s a tad slower than the WordWeb free.

It’s a great program!!
Thanks a lot for putting up the review. So far I have been using Wordweb free….and feel that this is going to replace that

One thing, you said that the ‘default shortcut’ for the hot key is (Ctrl shift A), have you found how to change it? as that key combination is used in many other software what I use and it would interfere with them.

I can’t find the option for changing the hot-key shortcut.

@ Rob O:
This is a great program and it looks like it’s better the pro version of Wordweb. Give this nice program a try before you shell out money on something else.
Mobysaurus is another free (bloated up) program for much advanced users which can refer online materials…that’s surely better than the Wordweb pro. But it’s too heavy on system resource.

Hey Samer, how would you say the thesaurus function in The Sage compares to WordWeb?

I’m pretty under-impressed with WW’s thesaurus offerings – even after plunking down the $30 for the “Pro” version it provides barely a scant fraction of the thesaurus offerings of some of the online services like Thesaurus.com.

I need something that’ll rival what I can get from Thesaurus.com without the hassle (and %#$*&! pop-ups!).
