TheSage English Dictionary and Thesaurus is a long name for a dictionary, but one that defines it properly. TheSage, to use a shorter and more manageable name throughout the review, is an offline dictionary and thesaurus that provides users with definitions for almost any word alongside a few handy features to make things easier for learners. The best part about the dictionary is that it does not require an internet connection to be usable.

Why TheSage?

Well, the first and foremost reason to use any dictionary is to learn and understand the meanings behind a word or phrase. A lot of youngsters start learning from physical dictionaries, which have become far less common since we entered the digital era. TheSage provides users with an offline dictionary and thesaurus that will help them with definitions, meanings, examples, synonyms, anagrams, and so much more.

Great features

With features such as Anagrams, WildCard, Thesaurus, Etymologies, Phonetic, Rhyme, and Concordancer, TheSage becomes an immediate winner in terms of what it offers to anyone. It features a handy system-wide shortcut that allows users to trigger it from any application to search for meanings of words highlighted within that program.

With Anagrams, you can input any word you wish to look up, and then you will find all possible anagrams of that respective word within TheSage. It is a very cool feature to have. In the Thesaurus, you get access to synonyms, antonyms, hypernyms, holonyms, hyponyms, meronyms, and so much more. If there is anything you could ask from a dictionary, TheSage probably has it.

No internet required

Once you have downloaded the setup, you don't need the internet anymore. That is the best part. It is a completely offline application installed on your Windows PC that works entirely without an active connection. Everything, every word, and every feature is built directly in.

Free for personal use

With no internet required, TheSage becomes a winner. But it takes it one step further by offering its standard version for free. TheSage is a free dictionary and thesaurus available for all personal use. For commercial use or advanced features, a paid license is required.

A comprehensive offline reference

TheSage Dictionary and Thesaurus offers everything you could ask from a dictionary application. With complete offline availability, a lot of handy built-in features, and good usability, TheSage offers excellent value. The one thorn in all the roses may be the user interface, which might make it unpleasant for a few users, but it might be a compromise worth making.
