Acronym Database: A Portable Free Software to find Full Form of an Abbreviation

I wrote a post months back about online services to find about common abbreviations. Software that can help in such cases are very rare and today I will write about an Indonesian software Acronym Database that will help you to search for acronyms and full form of abbreviations. The software is has a huge database and it will also allow you to search in online services, many of which were unknown to me. It has additional features like information of Facebook Emotions, Country Codes and Currency Codes. The software is freeware and is portable. Product Homepage is not available. You can get details of the software on Softpedia.

My Verdict

This software is very useful considering the lack of this kind of software. It has almost all the features. I will need a search option for Country Code and Currency Code section. An online or offline documentation would be handy to learn some portions of the software, mainly in the Acronym Database section. I would recommend the software anyway.
