PhoneWords Help

PhoneWords makes words from a phone number. PhoneWords knows about 527,000 words.

Type a phone number into the edit box, press the return key, and a list of words/digits will appear. The Minimum Word Length spinner sets the minimum length of words considered so as to prevent very short words from cluttering the list.

Double-click a result in the list to copy it to the clipboard, or use menu item Edit->Copy or key combination Command+C.

Checking the Use Large Dictionary checkbox will cause PhoneWords to use a 527,000-word dictionary. This may result in many items in the list, possibly making it hard to find the item you want. The default Small Dictionary has about 122,000 words.

Selecting a Font

To select a font for PhoneWords to use, click menu item View→Change Font... and select an application-wide font family, style and point size. Your selection will be retained across PhoneWords runs.
