Poet Assistant (English)

Carmen Alvarez

About this app

A set of offline tools to help with writing poems (currently only English is supported):

* a rhyming dictionary, using the Carnegie Mellon University pronunciation dictionary.
* a thesaurus, using the WordNet thesaurus.
* a dictionary, using the WordNet dictionary.
* a screen where you can enter your poem text, have it read aloud back to you by the device's text-to-speech engine, and see the word/character count.

The dictionaries are built in the app. No internet connection is required to use them.

The app is offline: your data is only stored locally on your device, unless you choose to export or share it. The Poet Assistant app doesn’t send your data to any server.

This app is open source: https://github.com/caarmen/poet-assistant

Permissions:
* Since 1.5.0, the app has the "run at startup" permission for the "Word of the day" feature. If you enable this feature in the settings, when the device reboots, the app makes sure the "word of the day" notification is still scheduled.

This app only contains dictionary data for English. If you are looking for other languages, please contact the developer.

Note: This is the original Poet Assistant app. It is completely free, truly offline (no internet permission), no ads, and no in-app purchases.

Ratings and reviews

love the offline factor, it's a dictionary, thesaurus, and rhymer all in one which is awesome. don't EVER press backspace unless you want to exit the app because that's all that does. doesn't bother me much but does annoy other people. NO ADS! even when you're online, YAY! looking up any words in another language is pointless and that includes most names. bit of a bummer but it does kinda say that in the app name

It's a really good app for rhyming words, but something that could be improved is to split the strict rhyming matches into different groups depending on the number of syllables. eg all the one syllable words listed first, then 2, then 3, and so on. It would just make it a bit easier to navigate. Overall, it's a really useful app, though, thank you.

I Like it. 4 stars only because a few improvements would make it more useful, but all works well, and some excellently. Deve Carmen seems to be on it. The yellow cursor needs to be made blue, some basic formatting added, and maybe a couple more work pages to temp-keep drafts, since there's only one. Otherwise: Good Job, and Thanks for such a good app. December '24.
