Nisus Thesaurus: Offering a thesaurus in your mac

Being a student it can be frustrating not having a thesaurus in arms reach 24/7. You never know when you might finish off that English essay and wow there is a difference when using a thesaurus to produce an essay. However being a mac fan boy I almost always have my MacBook near by so what better way to replace my oversized thesaurus with an application on my mac.

Nisus Thesaurus is a simple and easy to use application for your mac.  As stated by Nisus “Mac OS X comes with built-in spell checking for many applications but why stop there? Now you can have an integrated thesaurus as well”. And they could not be more right. Why not avail of something that is free.

You simply open up the application and enter the word you wish to find a relation for. The database knows over 120,000 words and offers a built-in glossary. With its built-in dictionary, Thesaurus knows that sometimes the same word means different things.

Nisus Thesaurus can be integrated with other applications, including Nisus Writer Express, Mail, Safari and TextEdit. This is a worthwhile freeware application and is no harm to try.
