Novelty

A new interface allows immediate hyphenation during typing and text frame resizing.

Spelling Checker

The Hungarian spelling checker program is based on MorphoLogic HUMor (High speed Unification based Morphology) technology knowing all forms of approximately 100,000 roots. In case of Hungarian this means more than two billion word forms.

The spelling checker accepts words as correct when its morphological analyzer is able to fit them together from the stored morphemes according to grammatical rules.

The program also suggests corrections for unknown words.

In our products spelling checkers work as part of a specified application. Generally their management corresponds to that of the original tools with similar function made for other languages.

Hyphenator

The Hungarian hyphenating program is based on MorphoLogic HUMor (High speed Unification based Morphology) technology knowing all forms of approximately 100,000 roots. In case of Hungarian this means more than two billion word forms.

Besides the simple syllabication algorithm the hyphenator also uses the language segmentation provided by the morphological analyzer. This is how it overrides the syllabication rules where necessary, e.g. after verbal prefixes or at compound boundaries. This method allows a much more reliable result than the use of an algorithm and a list of exceptions alone.

The program hyphenates only words it is able to parse. (The spelling checker accepts these as correct.) If the hyphenation of unknown words was allowed, a number of mistakes would arise from the fact that neither their morphological segmentation nor their correct pronunciation is known. The latter is important in case of foreign words. Finding the mistakes resulting from this would be more complicated for the user than manually hyphenating some non-hyphenated words.

There are some homonymous words the hyphenation of which depends on the actual meaning, e.g. "legelőre". In such words the program makes the hyphenation only where it is independent from the meaning, e.g. "legelő-re".
