Goals
The Core Thesaurus of Brazilian Portuguese is being crafted to help the users in this particular language-use task by giving them instant access to thousands of synonyms and antonyms for thousands of entries.

Project's Features
Designed to work as an add-in to Windows Word Processors, spreadsheets, e-mail programs, internet browsers and most other applications, helping the users to find the right word fast, while they´re working.

A specially designed and user-friendly computer interface was implemented so as to allow the linguists and the lexicographers to enter and browse the entries, and to monitor the accuracy and consistency of the entries during the thesaurus compilation process.
