WordFan

Envion Software created this natural-language stemming solution for Circle Noetics, achieving nearly a 98% compression rate, far and away tops in the industry. To users, this means 5 MB of language data is compressed to 150 KB, or approximately 2 to 3% of the original amount. And Envion's solution doesn't lose anything in performance; it can still crunch through 10,000 words per second. Available for Windows, Mac, and handhelds, WordFan provides an array of superb linguistic features: conjugation, normalization, exact, approximate, and phonetic searches, and support for Arabic lemmatization and intelligent decompounding for Germanic languages. It also adapts the Ukkonen cutoff algorithm for spelling suggestions. This product can be used as a library, a COM, or a plug-in object.
