Overview

Capti language supports are designed to be context sensitive and have the following properties:

#Scope

  • Look up translations from over 25 languages into 104 languages of any text up to 500 characters long.
  • Look up definitions of words and phrases in English.
Definition. 'Deference: with great respect

#Phraseology

If you look up a single word from a sentence, Capti will check if the word is used as a part of a phrase. If it is, the translation or definition for that phrase will be displayed.

Example For example, if you have a sentence "I made a point." and you look up the word "point" Capti will show results for "made a point".

Translate from English into Spanish

#Morphology

Each instance of a word or a phrase in the text has a separate, context specific translation and definition. Capti takes into account the word's part of speech, tense, and other factors.

Example For example, the word "building" from "It was a tall building" will be treated as a noun, while the same word from "They were building it for a while" will be treated as a verb.

#Lemmatization

If you look up a word that is not in its base form, two results will be displayed: one for word you looked up and one for its base (lemmatized) form.

Example For example, if the word you looked up was "building" and it was used as a verb, then you will see results for "building" (present participle) and "build" (verb).

#Phonetics
