MB Psychic Dictionary provides definitions for a wide range of words and symbols in the psychic world. While its layout was nothing special, its dedication to education was impressive.

The program's interface initially disappointed us since it consisted of nothing but words and a lot of white space. However, this made learning the program a lot simpler, especially because we were unable to get much from the online Help file's brief descriptions. Fortunately, the program took next-to-no training to master. We were able to scroll through an alphabetical list of hundreds of terms ranging from the 23-Day Cycle … Read more

MB Tarot Dictionary conveys an incredible amount of detail about Tarot, the fortune-telling cards of legend and lore. This listing of terms is simple to use and is written in a straightforward way even newcomers can understand.

The program's interface is sparse but functional. We would have liked a more professional layout than its black-and-white display, and maybe a more insightful Help file instruction, but the functions were so basic that it took us practically no effort to get going. The dictionary consisted of an alphabetical listing of a few hundred Tarot-related terms. From Abysmal Tarot to Zodiac Pack … Read more

MultiTranse is a simple utility for translating languages. The program impressed us with its speed and accuracy, but it left us wanting just a little more than it provided.

The program's interface was a delight. Not only was the layout intuitive, with its smartly designed command icons, but also it's helpful. A pop-up tip screen walked us through our first translation, completely eliminating any need to seek instruction from the Help file. You simply enter a primary phrase in any of the 24 languages MultiTranse handles--we chose English--and select one of the national flags representing the language you … Read more

MB Occult Dictionary Software provides a look at hundreds of occult words and their definitions. With a huge selection of terms and a handy feature, this is a great way to learn more on the subject.

If the program's simple black and white interface left us cold, the useless single sentence instructions of the online Help file practically gave us pneumonia. Luckily, the dictionary is organized in a way that we still mastered navigation in mere seconds. We were impressed by the amount of information as we scrolled through the list of hundreds of terms, ranging from Alexandrian Tradition, … Read more

MB Numerology Dictionary provides a better understanding of practically any term related to the astrological study of numbers. This bare-bones program excels at giving information anyone can understand.

This program's stark, black and white interface wasn't much to look at, but was functional. While its online Help file gave us the briefest of definitions for its layout, we got the hang of this program in about two seconds. We were impressed by the sheer number of terms provided, probably a few hundred, ranging from Birthday Numbers, to Inner Dreams Numbers, to Soul Numbers. We simply scrolled through this … Read more

MB Aromatherapy Dictionary Software provides an impressive collection of terminology related to the study and practice of aromatherapy. With a simple layout and easily interpreted definitions, this program succeeds.

The program's interface took us no time to understand. With the functions of a dictionary cut down to the bone, there is nothing to see here but a list of words and the definition. This was fortunate because the online Help file provided an all too brief description of the program and nothing more. The program had hundreds of terms listed in alphabetical order, which allowed us to scroll down … Read more

Thanks to Dictionary.com, I won a contest this weekend. The challenge: who could find synonyms for a word fastest (it was "fancy," as in "stop being so fancy about everything.") I had Dictionary.com loaded on an iPhone; my colleague, the BlackBerry Storm browser. Had he had the free Dictionary.com for BlackBerry, my challenger might have beaten me to the word bank.

At 250KB, Dictionary.com 1.0 is almost identical to the iPhone version. It, too, packs in a dictionary, a thesaurus, a list of recent search terms, and the opportunity to sign … Read more

Dictionary .NET is a small program that uses Google's dictionary and translation services. It's not very intuitive, but once you get it figured out, it's a handy tool to have around.

The program's interface is mysterious, with an empty space where you're supposed to enter your search term, and a larger empty box where we figured the search results would appear. We tried searching for some words in English, and English definitions came back. That was all well and good, but we thought that the point of the program was to translate between languages, not … Read more

Write Source provides users with a word processor for .txt documents that successfully imitates Word. In addition, the program offers an added feature that will help users search for words.

We felt instantly comfortable with this program's interface since it smoothly mimics Microsoft Word all the way down to its layout. The Help file's instructions were necessary to master some of the more complicated features, but basic writing was a snap. Our previous experience with word processors that save as .txt files had been disappointing since they always seemed to fall short of Word with their clumsy layouts … Read more
