I used to use WordWeb as a pop-up dictionary/thesaurus while I wrote, but I found it lacking, particularly in its inability to let me define my own terms per context (for example, when writing about roller derby, I used particular words and synonyms that weren't generally known or suggested by the software).

What do you use, and what benefits did you get?

Recently, I made Scribodroid. It is a program for synonyms, collocations, rhymes and definitions. It searches online dictionaries and works as a pop-up tool in any word editing program. It can be very useful sometimes.

Being active in three language I use Google's translate a lot. For a thesaurus I use Interglot. Just translate from english to english and you will get your synonyms. I don't know how it compares to WordWeb, but this is what I use.
