Language tools for the professional publishing industry

The highest quality, down to the last letter

Technology

Speller XT's language technology was devised by language institute *TALO, an expert in language tools for the professional publishing industry.

From now on, critical errors in grammatical and lexical combinations are being detected by Speller XT's Expression Control.

High quality hyphenation for many languages

The number of languages supported far outreaches the borders of Europe. The new version is already fully compatible with QuarkXPress 7, both on the Macintosh and Windows.

Hyphenator XT was developed to optimise hyphenation of a great number of languages. As a result, QuarkXPress users no longer have to master a language, in order to correctly hyphenate it.

Technology

Hyphenator XT uses the intelligent syllable technology from *TALO. General unifying structures for syllabification are completed with linguistic patterns. Each language module acts like a comparator which possesses an almost human understanding of the target language with its own linguistic pattern. This *TALO technology has been implemented into the software modules, as a result of which the accuracy is of the highest level. It inserts hyphens, whilst keeping the text flow comprehensible.

Swiftly copy and apply complex formatting

Overview

With Multi Style XT, once the typographic settings (multistyles) have been defined, they can be swiftly copied and pasted onto unformatted text.

A multistyle contains style attributes for one or more words or paragraphs. It is even possible to specify various formatting styles within words and/or paragraphs. The various text styles can be applied in one single page onto unformatted text. Multi Style XT analyses the target text and applies the created multistyle based on (sub)field separators.

Key features

• Copy and apply typographic specifications
• Save complex formatting in multistyles
• Multistyles can be applied to a single word, a paragraph or multiple selected words and paragraphs
• Apply saved multistyles using the Multi Style XT palette or user-definable short cuts
• Save multistyles with your documents and/or application
• User-defined (sub)field separators
• Avoid repetitive and time consuming actions
