Ultralingua

Ultralingua is a collection of multi-lingual dictionary products for Windows, Macintosh, and Palm OS. As of the winter of 2011, we have English, French, Spanish, French-English, Spanish-English, German-English, Italian-English, French-German, French-Spanish, Norwegian-English, Latin-English, Spanish-Portuguese, Portuguese-English, Esperanto-English, French-Italian, Spanish-German, Mandarin-English, and Klingon-English dictionaries for iPhone, Windows, Mac, Windows Mobile, Palm, webOS, Symbian, and the web, in addition to some phrasebooks and various other language-related tools. About 20 new language combinations are coming soon, including several new languages.

Our products are driven by the Ultralingua Application Programming Interface (ULAPI), which is used in our own consumer products as well as by other software developers who need linguistic features in their software. Assistiveware's Proloquo2Go and NetTrekker are two systems that use ULAPI. Some of the more interesting ULAPI features include stemming (turning a derived form of a word into the root word, like "parlions" --> "parler"), verb conjugation, number translation (e.g. "123" --> "one hundred twenty-three"), part of speech tagging, and plural formation, with more under development.
