HOMOPHONE SUPPORT
 

Homophone support is a fundamental element of WordSmith. Many people get confused with like sounding words. Wordsmith's homophone support reduces confusion between like sounding words with different meanings. This feature provides audible definitions and color-coding of all homophones. 1400 of these are listed as standard. The Same Sounding Words Panel shows the list of words that can be confused and a definition for each one to help pick the one you want to use.

By identifying and providing audible definitions of homophones WordSmith ensures you are using the correct word in context.

How to check for Homophones with WordSmith


To check your text for homophones select the text and click on the Homophone button. This will highlight all homophones. By right clicking in Word 2000/XP on any of the highlighted homophones the Same Sounding Words window will appear. ( In Word 97 click on the highlighted homophone and then the Homophone button.)

This will show a list of the words most commonly confused with the selected word. By selecting any of the words in the list and clicking on the Speak button you can have the word and meaning read to you. Once you have found the word that you need it is simply a matter of clicking on the Replace button to have the word placed in to your text.
It is possible to edit the homophones within WordSmith by clicking on the Options button in the Same Sounding Words panel. This will extend the panel so you can search for a word.
