It works like your brain. Unlike a paper-bound book, the VT is fluid and dynamic, like the way you think. Word maps blossom with meaning, helping you find just the right word. You'll write more descriptively and precisely, discover new ideas, and expand your vocabulary.

Join a community of word lovers. A subscription to the Visual Thesaurus is your ticket to an online community of thousands of creative people who are passionate about words and language.

Learn about language and the creative process from our online magazine. Members of the VT community can enjoy our online magazine, updated daily with fresh content. Informative features explore everything from how writers find inspiration to how words and phrases become part of our lexicon. Hear from experts in fields ranging from teaching to copywriting, and learn how to make language work for you.

Keep track of words that inspire you with word lists. Build your own customized word lists on any theme of your choosing. You can explore other people's lists, leave comments, and rate them.

Who uses the Visual Thesaurus?
Copywriters use it as an idea generator. Writers use it to get unblocked. Students use it to improve how they read, write and think (not to mention prepping for the SAT). Marketers use it to come up with names. Teachers use it to energize their classrooms. Professionals use it to spiff up their PowerPoints. You can use it for all these reasons, or just to have fun in exploring the interconnections of language.

Linking The Visual Thesaurus:
It´s very simple to link Visual Thesaurus. It can be implemented in Your Google Toolbar, used on websites and blogs and if you have Microsoft Word 2000, 2002, 2003, or 2007 for Windows, you can download and install the Visual Thesaurus for Microsoft Word.
