+Artha is a cross-platform open-source thesaurus with WordNet as its
+database.
+
+The main focus of Artha is high usability, with much simplicity. It has
+distinct features like:
+
+* hotkey press - word look-up (select text and press a hotkey for look-up)
+* regex-based search (find words using wild-cards like *, ?, etc.)
+* passive desktop notifications (of word definitions for uninterrupted
+ workflow)
+* spelling suggestions (when the exact spelling is vague/not known)
+
+Artha requires WordNet, which is available at SlackBuilds.org.
