Poet Assistant is an iPhone application designed to assist in writing poems. It offers a rhyming dictionary, a thesaurus, and a regular dictionary, all integrated with the WordNet database. Additionally, users can input their poem text, listen to it being read aloud by the device's text-to-speech engine, and view word/character counts. The app functions offline, as the dictionaries are included within the application, eliminating the need for an internet connection.

Poet Assistant presents a valuable set of tools for poets, leveraging resources such as the Carnegie Mellon University pronunciation dictionary and the WordNet thesaurus. With its open-source nature, users have access to the app's code on GitHub for transparency and potential contributions.
