For Publishers
Smartwords increases the value of your content by connecting your words with Wordnik's vast store of information about every word in English. Generate new products (like topic glossaries) automatically from your existing content. Smartwords allows you to connect with readers and enhance your brand by showcasing great contextual examples from your content.
For Developers
The smartwords standard will allow developers to enrich web applications and extend e-readers and to match readers with related high-quality content. Smartwords will help foster a marketplace for apps around books and reading, and let different parts of the eReader stack talk to each other and interoperate.
For eReader Manufacturers
Smartwords will enable e-readers to deliver richer, more engaging, more personalized content to the reader and allow readers to list, share, and comment on the words they love. Smartwords will also provide new opportunities for monetization inside the e-reader platform.
For Readers
Smartwords will give you the best explanation for any word that you're interested in from right inside the book. Get the right answer right now from publishers you know and trust, connect with other content, and see aggregated stats about your own reading habits. Where traditional dictionaries end, smartwords is just getting started.
