    You have to pay for it and it would rely on you finding enough suitable reading texts online, but this looks useful for IELTS and English for Academic Purposes students too:

    http://www.visualthesaurus.com/vocabgrabber/

    Thanks to the publishers for the PR release on this. Will hopefully be able to give more info on it soon, such as whether it is worth the money or not, if they agree to send out a review copy

    Ben Zimmer here, executive producer of the Visual Thesaurus. Just to clarify, VocabGrabber is being offered as a free resource from the Visual Thesaurus. Many additional benefits come with a subscription to the Visual Thesaurus, but VocabGrabber can be used without a subscription. Let us know what you think!
