But in reality - alas! - the Muse is fickle, the vocabulary sometimes jams, and sclerosis has a habit of sneaking up unnoticed... And rhyme, take it out and put it down! So I had to attach some kind of rhymer to the program. Maybe it won't give you the perfect rhyme, but it will help you get out of a stupor (and then, you see, it will enrich your active vocabulary...) The effect was better than expected, although the rhyme dictionaries (Ukrainian or Russian) were built on the basis of some algorithm, and not an orthoepic dictionary read by a person. It's too early to evaluate the English version—it's still beta, and the dictionary is small and needs proofreading. I apologize in advance for the fact that not all of the features described below are relevant in the English version. But the rhymer did a good job of finding the most common pairs of rhyming words in English ;)

•   Rhythm check of poems; •   Meter detection; •   Built-in dictionary:     English: 44,500 words     (109,300 word forms);     Ukrainian: 136,300 words     (1,959,400 word forms);     Russian: 137,800 words     (2,967,100 word forms), •   User and online dictionaries     (English, Ukrainian, Russian); •   Rhyme markup; •   Spell check; •   Number of syllables per line; •   Service for working     with poems from the Internet.

As of 01.01.2026, the RitmInMe program includes three three dictionaries: English́ with 44,569 words / 109,331 word forms, Ukrainian with 136,298 words / 1,959,409 word forms, Russian with 137,790 words / 2,967,116 word forms. You can also connect dictionaries of proper names (English́ with 163 words / 325 word forms, Ukrainian with 4,161 words / 33,012 word forms, Russian with 1,938 words / 18,042 word forms), but this is an acquired taste (proper names in the rhymebook are more of a hindrance than a help when searching for an exact rhyme, but if you look through the dictionary in order to remove the blinkers from associations, then such words are no worse than the rest). By the way, the hypothesis about the rhyme scheme for the line characteristics panel of the text editing window is also based on the algorithm of this rhymebook.

You can get a list of possible rhymes for a word in the most natural way - by double-clicking the mouse or Ctrl-Click in the editing window on the word you are interested in, or in the traditional way - through the menu or the button . The initial word is taken from under the cursor. As a result (after thinking a little for decency's sake), the program displays something like this on the screen:

The most natural user behavior here is to browse the list of suggested rhymes and click on a word they like (with these settings, from the second column). This closes the rhyme list and saves the word to the clipboard.

However, if the list is large, you might wonder if there's any point in searching for a better rhyme. But then, you'd have to search for it in the list... The "Accumulate rhymes" option appears in the search bar. Clicking on a word simply adds it to the list of favorite rhymes in the lower left corner of the screen (clicking the same word again removes it from the list).

All rhymebook settings are visible. Black-colored options are applied immediately after changes, while blue-colored options require clicking the "Apply" button (it's duplicated above the text – ).

Using the "View" radio button group, you can display only a list of possible rhymes, removing the columns for number, orthoepic type, part of speech, and rhyme type with the degree of pre-stressed rhyme match. The "*" sign before a word indicates its archaism (as well as poetic, folksy, or difficult to pronounce. In the English version, the last parameter is hidden, since the corresponding features are not provided in the dictionary, and there is no point in setting the quality parameter, since it does not work yet (β). Whether or not to consider such options is up to you.

You can also change the design by collapsing uninteresting settings groups with the "-" button and expanding them again with the "+" button.

Using the "Rhyme type" radio button group, you can adjust the rhyme quality:

Note: Dropping below a third-rate rhyme is only possible if you're really desperate. True, there are some interesting examples there... but more often than not, they're just garbage. Sometimes, reducing the number of consonants in a sample helps.

By disabling the "Rate by type" option and enabling "Rate in total", we can "promote" rhymes with a higher degree of matches in the pre-stressed part. If the "Type" column is enabled in the "View" settings, the number of such matches will be indicated by the second digit.

The lower the rhyme quality, the more variants there are and, consequently, the longer it takes to generate them (the lowest gradation includes the highest). This can be reduced by setting quality and quantity limits. You can also limit the number of syllables in a word. But the most interesting limit is the composition limit, which allows you to filter out some rhyme candidates and see the composition of rhymes quantitatively, broken down by parts of speech.

Note: If we reject a part of speech, the number of rhymes we can generate for a given sample for a specific part of speech displayed to the left of its name is not the actual number, but only its estimate. If we accept a previously rejected part of speech, the number of rhymes generated with it may decrease compared to the estimate. The larger the number, the greater the difference. The number of rhymes listed to the left of the "All" line is almost always greater than the number of lines, due to the fact that homonyms of the same word, related to different parts of speech, are placed on a single line.

The final group of settings is for using name dictionaries (if available). By default, name dictionaries are disabled. The rhyme dictionary can be annoying enough, suggesting words that are excessively irrelevant to the topic at hand, and personal names and geographical names are likely to be inappropriate. However, those who aren't bothered by persistent but highly unlikely rhymes like "field/Sheffield" can enable these rhymes—it won't add much junk, and the chances of coming up with something useful are quite high.

Words for rhyme selection can be specified:

After that (if necessary), adjust the position of the stressed syllable (using the toggle or a mouse click) and click "Apply". Sometimes the program doesn't guess the type of the sample word. In this case, you can adjust it (although this very rarely affects the composition of the suggested rhymes).

Naturally, you can impose some restrictions on the output beforehand, change the presentation type and/or the rhyme selection method.

In addition to copying one of the rhyme variants to the clipboard, the user has the option of printing the list of rhymes or exporting it to a file. In the latter case, keep in mind: if you save the file in MS Office format and the Word settings are set to "Confirm conversion when opening," you will need to confirm the file format as "Web page in a single file."

If you're used to double-clicking text exclusively to select the current word and don't want to give up this habit, there's a special option on the first settings tab: "Double-click in the input window selects a word, triple-click selects a line". Once enabled, the hotkey for selecting rhymes remains Alt-R or Ctrl-Click.

The cross button in the upper left corner of the form closes the rhymebook without saving anything to the clipboard.

Clicking the close rhymebook button or the list of favorite rhymes is the same as clicking the cross if the list is empty (you can clear it by disabling the "Accumulate rhymes" option). If there's only one rhyme in the list, the program exits and saves it to the clipboard. Otherwise, the list of favorite rhymes is displayed in expanded form, and you're prompted to select one. If for some reason you need the entire list, clicking the button or the short list of favorite rhymes again saves the entire list to the clipboard as a single line, and the rhymebook closes. While viewing the accumulated rhymes, the rhymebook controls are active, and if you use them to redraw the screen (for example, by clicking the "Apply" button), the accumulation of rhymes will continue.
