Dashes

Arguably the fastest such program anywhere, Dashes is a cross-platform, multi-language hyphenation library for text-processing applications. Developed for Circle Noetic Services, this natural-language solution processes 100,000 words a second with extremely high accuracy, providing language-specific hyphenation in many languages. Licensed by Quark, Adobe, and Microsoft for their text-formatting/composition products, this program can be activated at selected points in the composition process.
