dictionary and parser) |
The program "takes keyboard
input or a file of Latin text lines and provides an analysis
of each word individually. There is also a searchable version
of this program on the World Wide Web."
"The dictionary is
about 17000 entries, as would be counted in an ordinary
dictionary. This expands to more than twice that number of
individual stems (the count that the program displays at
startup), and may generate many hundreds of thousands of
"words" that one can construct over all the declensions and
conjugations..." |
| DicoMaker |
| "DicoMaker offers translators an
easier and better way to store and manage in-house terminology
on their computers. DicoMaker dictionaries are text files, not
database files. With DicoMaker, manipulating terminology is
simply a matter of manipulating text files, word
processor-like. Powerful yet user-friendly search functions
provide database-like access to your
information" |

Tools |
| Lexical analysis software
for data-driven learning and research. A series of linguistic
tools for lexical analysis including a kwic (key word in
context) tool, a keyword extractor,a parallel text aligner,
etc. |
| Entente |
| "Entente is meant to help people
get around in foreign countries; to converse, and ask
questions, and get understandable replies. Entente is
different from ordinary document translators in several ways.
Most programs try to guess the meanings of ambiguous words,
but Entente asks instead. (The user types I LIKE... and it
beeps and asks LIKE in which sense? 1. I like candy. 2. Jim is
like Jane. The user knows what he means, types a "1", and the
computer makes the right translation .)"
