Just highlight the word and click the WordWeb icon in your system tray (or simply hold down Ctrl and right-click a word) to access a wealth of information that includes definition, synonyms, and spoken pronunciation--which requires sound, of course. Other results vary with the context but could include choices such as antonyms, types, and parts.
There's a dizzying array of options, including a choice of nine different types of English (for example, British English, Irish English, and American English).
Note: This free version of WordWeb comes with some restrictions; read the license agreement for details.
WordWeb Pro v. 5 ($29) adds more definitions and numerous customization options. For complete specs, go to the WordWeb site.
