Software description:
1. Spelling-checker for the Romanian language
The Romanian language has two important particularities: the
pronunciation is almost the same as the written form of the word, and
the words have many different forms during flexion. The method used for
spelling is based on the distance between the words.
A dictionary for the Romanian language cannot store all the forms of the
words, each word taking many different forms during the flexion, which
strongly increase the size of the dictionary.The dictionary stores the
roots of the words and references to the
corresponding endings. The dictionary used by the spelling-checker
contains about 20,000 entries. Availability: for commercial use.

The system contains an editor for creating or modifying multimedia
lessons (LESSMAKER) and an a module which offers assistance for

useful dictation exercises for teaching a foreign language. A dictionary
of word prononciations is available to the student. The student can
