Ligature's Quicktionary Engine extends an English-language search into additional languages. With Quicktionary Engine, a search for an English word can automatically retrieve its foreign language equivalents — or vice versa.



For example, with Quicktionary Engine for Spanish enabled, a search for people with will find not only people (and English language synonyms thereof), but also Spanish-language equivalents like personas, familia, and pueblo. Or you can install the French dictionary, and find peuple and gens. Or you can search for a Spanish or French word like personas or peuple and come up with people, citizenry, etc.

“Quicktionary Engine takes the power of concept searching in dtSearch, and extends that automatically into multilingual dimensions,” says Giora Shimoni, Director of Marketing and Sales, Ligature. “Quicktionary Engine translates — with lightning speed — your search term into other languages, and then submits the results along with the original terms into the dtSearch Engine. The result is super-powered international language search.”

Ligature is offering Quicktionary Engine for enterprise use, as well as an OEM developer component for integration into third-party applications. Ligature also manufactures CharacterEyes OCR software, for use with a wide variety of international languages. Like Quicktionary Engine, Ligature sells CharacterEyes both as a stand-alone application as well as a developer component for integration into third-party applications.
