Poet Assistant – A rhyming dictionary

[App] Poet Assistant

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: 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.

Looking for other languages?

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.

Poet Assistant user reviews :

I’m going to give it 5 stars because it does exactly what it should and does it with ease; no ads, no internet connection. It’s great. If you write or study this is a must have app. My request is this: 1. I’d like to see the back button not close out of the app, but rather go back to the last selection or menu you’ve tapped. 2. If like to see the rhyme section have looser options and rhyme schemes (alternative option to toggle). If your a poet, most rhymes aren’t going to be precise. Thanks!

It’s a nice app, and it’s generous of you to share it for free. I can’t notice how much screen space it wastes, though. In reference apps, you want to see as many entries at a time as possible, without excessive scrolling. Why? Each time you must scroll, even a bit, you change the whole screen’s layout and must refocus on it. With small (single-word) entries, that’s a lot of unnecessary eye- and brain-strain. Don’t “reinvent the wheel”… See how other developers have done it. Cheers!

I am completely serious when I say that, as a writer, this is one of the single most used apps on my phone. I have it open more often than my notes app. Seriously. It’s streamlined, excellent, and accessible. While there are some issues, especially with some thesaurus entries seemingly missing and not being able to find near-rhymes, those minor issues are nowhere near enough to bring this app — which I consider practically essential to my process now — down to 4 stars.

Great. I really appreciate no ads. I would love to see a quicksave button. Also, for lyricists, it would be fantastic if the yellow play button played an uploaded MP3, and it had a slider underneath to navigate the song (I don’t really understand the point of the reading feature). Finally, the ‘filter by synonym’ feature doesn’t seem to work at all. I’d pay 5€ for an app which did all that.

I love it! The fact that there is a notepad right at your fingertips in the app can’t be overestimated. Grab that inspiration while you’re at it and create something beautiful with the power of words. However, I feel like the thesaurus part could be enhanced and the dictionary part could be complete with examples of word use in a sentence. Other than that, great app!

This is very-very awesome app… This is cost-free, ad-free, offline, small in size, provides useful filters. You can easily analyze any text just by selecting without copying it. Only problem is when we analyze any word or text from somewhere else it does not show result in half screen but the whole scree. I hope it will be fixed soon. Overall… this is truly 5 star…

Mostly good, but has a two very annoying problems. One, the back button closes the app instead of going to the last word searched, and when closed it forgets your searches, so you’ll have to type the word back in. Two, it makes the occasional odd assumption – for example, when I tried to search “touche” it thought I meant “touched” – and when it makes this mistake, there’s no way to “force” it to search only exactly what you type in.

  • Hello! Indeed other users have also suggested making the back button function like this. I’ll consider adding this behavior As for the touche/touched: if a word doesn’t exist in the dictionary, it tries to find the “closest” word, based on the word stem. In this case, touche unfortunately doesn’t exist in the thesaurus or definitions.
