About Poet Assistant (English)
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.
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.

500 word limit is a bummer but this is an essential tool. Especially when away from my desk & rhyming dictionaries.

This has been helping me throughout my journey of writing any kind of Poetry, Lyrics and quotes as well ! Thank you so much for such a Wonderful App ! I'll recommend this to every writer and poet out there !
I love this app and I write all my songs here using the rhymer and thesaurus feature as well as the dictionary for rhyming words I didn't know the meaning of. It makes me giggle when I use a wordplay that I hadn't thought of b4 this app. Also the voiced feature to let you know how to pronounce your new found friend ...
I'm a poet and this app helps me alot!! I love this app!!!!!!!
