MasterWriter Re-Mastered The all new, completely redesigned MasterWriter 2.0 has finally arrived with new features and an overhaul of it's tried and true components that made it a hit right out of the box not too too long ago. We'll walk through the highlights and you can find out more with the demos noted at the end of the article and other references. What's New? New features include two new reference dictionaries - Word Families and Parts Of Speech. Word Families and Parts Of Speech, two unique dictionaries, open up a new world of possibilities for descriptive words and ideas and tie in many more related phrases than you'd ever find with just a thesaurus. Also, a complete searchable version of the Bible, Old and New Testaments, has been incorporated and will be a boon for any Christian music writer and anyone needing a Biblical reference for a song. What's Old - And New Again? Updates and improvements to all existing features have been employed including a greatly expanded and enhanced Sound-Alikes, (close rhymes). And the Interface was completely redesigned, and is resizable, with enhanced functionality and a faster load time is now making MasterWriter execute faster than ever. The Old Standbys Still Going Strong? MasterWriter has the most extensive rhyming dictionary (100,000+) along with rhymed phrases. Roget's thesaurus is also in the mix along with an alliteration dictionary and cultural references including clichés and topical buzz phrases. The American Heritage Dictionary is still part of the package too. MasterWriter also continues with its recorder for scratch melodies or musical ideas and a large library of preprogrammed grooves in various styles of writing.
