German translation of an English sentence.

  InteractiveTran can be used for very quick word-by-word and phrase-by-phrase translations of entire paragraphs. The output of such translation always needs to be edited if a high quality of translation is required. You can paste the translated text wherever you wish inside your word processor; over the original text or somewhere else in the original, or in another document.

In summary, InteractiveTran is a tool that can help you save valuable time when translating anything from an e-mail, web page, fax, letter, book, user's guide or manual to extremely large volumes of text. It can also teach you new vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation as you are working in a foreign language.

 Word Translation Mode

No more flipping through pages and pages of dictionary entries! With InteractiveTran's Word Translation mode, you can translate single words, phrases and even short sentences quickly and easily with your mouse and just a few keystrokes. Because InteractiveTran is bi-directional, you can do so by using either of the two languages supported by your bilingual dictionary! To translate, simply highlight a word or phrase in your Windows word processor or application and call-up InteractiveTran with the hot key combination. InteractiveTran will automatically provide you with all translations entered in your bilingual dictionary. You can even customise your bilingual dictionary by adding new words, phrases and translations and even change existing entries to meet your individual personal or business needs.

 Spell Checking As-You-Type

No more typos or spelling mistakes! InteractiveTran's Spell Checking mode spell checks as-you-type in both of the languages supported by your bilingual dictionary. It can help ensure your document is perfectly presented without spelling errors or typos. If a word you type is not entered in your bilingual dictionary, InteractiveTran will sound an alarm and display a list of suggested spellings. If a suitable replacement exists, InteractiveTran will automatically replace the misspelled word in your text with the selection you make. If it is not in the dictionary, you can easily and quickly add the word or phrase along with as many translations as you want or need.

As you will be able to see for yourself, this great feature of InteractiveTran will ensure that you learn how to spell correctly because you will get immediate feedback just as soon as you have made your mistake.

We all make the same kind of mistakes over and over again. The interactive spell checking mode of InteractiveTran is very intelligent because it will remember the choices you made when you have corrected your previous spelling mistakes. This is a feature that is incredibly useful for people who have a tendency to be, or are, dyslexic. People who are dyslexic know the correct spelling of a word but they are unable to type it in correctly.

Another wonderful part of spell checking as-you-type is that when you come across a very long word for which you are not sure of its spelling you can just type the first few characters of it and InteractiveTran will predict what you wanted to type. This feature is now an integrated part of the spell checking as-you-type mode because it becomes useful only for longer words and it is the user who ultimately knows if he or she wants to type a long word or not. To use this option the user would type, for example, the first five characters of a word, press the space bar, InteractiveTran Word come up saying that the word is not spelt correctly and then the user would click on a button called Predict which would give the wanted prediction that could be pasted back into the Windows application (most probably a word processor in this case).

 Conventional Spell Checking

Spell checking after you have typed an entire document or paragraph is also supported by InteractiveTran. Comparing this feature of InteractiveTran to that of your current word processor you will notice that InteractiveTran can spell check in many languages and it can spell check in any Windows application, not just in your word processor. We are sure that you will like this wonderful feature of our software!

 Document Translation

Fast translation of complete sentences, paragraphs and documents at your finger tips! InteractiveTran's Document Translation mode performs a word-by- word and phrase-by-phrase translation of any text you choose in your Windows word processor or application. It allows you to closely monitor the translation of individual words and phrases recognised by InteractiveTran by allowing you to choose from any existing translation for any word or phrase. It is a great way to produce a first draft translation of your text and can speed up the entire translation process by as much as 60%. All the formatting of your original document is perfectly preserved. InteractiveTran even automatically pastes the translation back to your Windows word processor or application.

 Quick Document Translation

Save time translating a complete document! If you need a quick draft translation of a document, Quick Document Translation is a mouse click away. It is fast and easy to use. Once you have highlighted the document text, Quick Document Translation does the rest. It performs a word-by-word and phrase-by- phrase translation much like the Document Translation mode but it does so automatically. Quick Document Translation also preserves all formatting of your original document and automatically pastes the translation back to your Windows word processor or application.

Spell checking as-you-type in action! Spelling suggestions for the "heart".

 InteractiveTran will spell check as-you-type teaching you the correct spelling of words interactively. Contrary to spell checking after the entire document has been typed, you will be able to learn the proper spelling of words much better because the correct form will be given to you at the very moment the mistake is made.

 InteractiveTran will predict what you are about to type after you have typed a predefined number of letters of a word. Because you will be able to type long words with only a few keystrokes this will increase your typing speed. The spell checking as-you-type feature will still be active for all the words which have less letters than the predefined threshold.

Learning the correct pronunciation of words and phrases: hear and practice.

System requirements:
