What a neat app! I'm not really a writer, but I AM an old lady who sometimes can't think of the exact word I'm looking for! Really appreciate this developer for coming up with this!

Always one of my favorite helper programs, it's great to see it back.

The price hasn't changed :)

I only wish it was a service under Lion. Still, for the cost, you can't go wrong.

WordNetX and Nisus contain the same data from WordNet online -- if I'm reading the info from Nisus correctly

I happen to find Nisus closer to my needs.

So neither contains the word 'logomachy'

Polished and very useful. I have used it for many months and it feels like a fundamental part of my Mac.

How is this different from the very good WordnetX?

The Readme and the About box both say Nisus Thesaurus makes use of WordNet.

This is the best Dictionary/Thesaurus app on the Mac. Check out additional options as you drill down into a definition.

This is a fantastic little app! My compliments to Nisus for develoing and distributing this phenomenal service for OS X, it works as advertised, even in Panther.

Nisus Thesaurus is an integrated language reference for writers and editors.

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. With Nisus Thesaurus you get a fast electronic thesaurus that automatically integrates with any service aware application including Nisus Writer Express, Mail, TextEdit, Safari, and more.

Using Thesaurus is easy. Just select the word in your favorite application and choose "Nisus Thesaurus" from the "Services" sub-menu. When you select a word in Nisus Thesaurus, the synonyms for that word will be shown right next to it in the Word Browser. Go from "sky" to "cumulonimbus" in just a few clicks.

Nisus Thesaurus knows the English language. Using the WordNet lexical reference database, Thesaurus knows over 120,000 words and how they relate to each other. When you lookup a word in Nisus Thesaurus, it will show you related words in six categories. With its built-in dictionary, Thesaurus knows that sometimes the same word means different things. So it will never confuse the related words for "an orange" and "the color orange."
