Who is TALO??
* Talos â„¢ is a Netherlands-based software company that specializes in the development of language modules. We have conceived, designed and developed * Talos hyphenation system from a psychological, cognitive and linguistic perspective. The system is based on an overall structure for syllabification, which works on any alphabetic language. Our first product was called “Dutch Hyphenation”, and was integrated in the Dutch version of WordPerfect in 1985. Our next step was to build a software generator to create Hyphenator into other languages. With this advanced generator, the development of hyphenation modules takes us only a few months.
The Hyphenation modules were followed by development of spelling modules based on the same principles as the language hyphenation modules.
Our creation of Hyphenation or speller always begins with a thorough research on the language. The general rules for hyphenation and spelling are dictated by leading language institutes and academies.
Since the initial implementation we at * Talos has made significant progress in developing Hyphenator and speller for the European, Asian and African languages. We have also put a significant effort to improve both the underlying scientific principles and technical realizations.
You can count on * Talos language modules for reliability and speed, that’s why you will find our units throughout Europe, America, Asia and Africa. They are integrated into larger financial, higher insurance, and editorial systems.
At present, you may be provided with language modules for almost any European language (50), the Middle Eastern languages ??(Arabic, Hebrew, Persian / Farsi, Kurdish), the Asian languages ??(Kazakh, Khmer, Urdu, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali , Gujarati, Malayalam, Tamil, Nepalese, Sinhalese, Thai, Bahasa Melayu and Indonesia) and the African languages ??(Zulu, Xhosa, Afrikaans, Swahili). Many revive the language of minorities are also included. All official languages ??of the 25 members of the European Union supported and Portuguese Acordos ortográfico is implemented in the system.
We continue to develop other modules.
The language modules have been assembled in public libraries. Differences in language processes are encapsulated in order to promote integration with OEMs particular system, either as a runtime linkable library or as a coherent set of sources. The shared libraries can be easily configured into smaller systems.
