The application has a simple and intuitive user interface. The main window shows the word and its associated synonyms. The following control options are provided on the navigation bar, for manual browsing:

1. First Word

2. Previous Word

3. Next Word

4. Last Word

Browsing of the words in the database is in alphabetical order.  

The “Sentence” button brings up a sentence showing use of the word in the proper context.  

 The interface also has a check box to mark the word as a tough word. Marking of the current word as a “tough word” is left as an option to the user  , instead of predefined levels of difficulty for the words. This allows the user to tailor the database according to his own level instead of imposing a specified difficulty level on him. As he progresses, the words initially marked tough can be unchecked to normal difficulty level.  

The Settings option of the menu has ‘Browse tough words only’ item to allow the user to revise words marked as tough only in order to skip over the known words.  

The user can browse the list automatically, in a hands-off manner, using the “Browse” and “Stop” buttons. The Browse button displays a word for 15 seconds before moving on to the next one. The Stop button stops the auto browsing.
