WoodWing Software's New Smart Speller Provides Industry's Best Spelling Functionality
ZAANDAM, Netherlands, August 9/-- WoodWing Software(TM) has introduced Smart Speller(TM), a powerful new tool that adds the enhanced spelling functionality of the renowned language institute TALO(R) to Adobe(R) InDesign(R) and InCopy(R) CS2.
"The spelling modules created by the TALO institute are the best in the world," said Erik Schut, President of WoodWing Software. "By incorporating TALO's technology into Smart Speller, we've been able to create the industry's most powerful, efficient and versatile speller."
In addition to delivering enhanced spelling functionality for languages that are available in standard InDesign and InCopy, Smart Speller also covers a wide variety of additional languages, including Bulgarian, Croatian, Australian English and many others.
Aad Droogh, WoodWing's Technical Product Manager for Smart Speller, said the architecture of the TALO spelling modules is what makes Smart Speller(TM) such an efficient and powerful tool.
"Most spellers on the market are based on the permutation or the trigram method," Droogh explained. "What this means is that it's beyond the reach of many spellers to include in their lexicons every compound that appears. Their lexicons mainly consist of roots of words that are meant to be combined with each other."
Smart Speller follows the rules and exceptions of spelling governed by leading academies, Droogh said. Therefore, abbreviations, punctuation marks, fixed formats and financial data (such as dates and numbers), and Internet addresses are controlled during the spelling process.
Another benefit of Smart Speller, Droogh noted, is its memory. "It has a memory that contains words, such as the user's mistakes or unique, differently spelled words," he said. "The function of its memory for a whole company or separated business units could be its favorite style; words are collected in separated lexicons for each user or server. Smart Speller has this learning ability, making it very convenient for anyone to use."
