Freeware: Phonetic

	Fredal's Dictionary  License: Freeware
	FD is a very different and special kind of Desktop Dictionary Publish-me.com. FD is a reincarnation of my Jorj Shareware Dictionary (Jorj Software Co.), a TSR/DOS program and the original and only Phonetic Dictionary. It was first release in 1991 after several years of development. The effort began as a computer design problem. The object being to develop an algorithm to search a database of words based on pronunciation rather than spelling The problem first arose in the 1980s while working on a project to develop computer software to automate the look-up portion of work done by directory-assistance telephone operators. I learned then that often callers would seek help finding someone's phone number but were not able to spell the person's last name. I recalled that the Census Bureau encountered the same problem in the 1930s and developed what was called the "Soundex System". The problem intrigued me and after the phone company project was completed, I began to work on a computerized version of a similar solution. Once I had completed a working model, the telephone company project was long over and so I had a solution to a problem that didn't exist. It was obvious, however, that what worked for a list of names would work equally well for a list of everyday words and so the effort to develop a phonetic dictionary was born. The final result is that unlike most computerized dictionary which were designed for the printing press, FD was designed as a computer system. Therefore, the user is able, most of the time, to locate words he is unable to spell (e.g. suenomi, farmasuitikul, lickwasashun). Being designed as a computerized tool allowed for another unique feature. FD includes a function called SCAN which permits the user to scan the definition database for any particular word or phrase. This is a powerful and unique function that creates a list of all related dictionary entries. For example, "fear" as a keyword would list all phobias, as it is used Author: George Fredal| Date: 27-08-2006 | Size: 2200 KB

	2Know  License: Freeware
	Many mnemonic systems have been developed to aid in remembering numbers (credit cards, phone numbers, PINs, passwords, etc). The most prominent of these assigns a unique consonant sound to each digit, 0-9. These sounds are then used to form words/phrases that are more easily remembered than the raw numbers they represent. For example the number 70395 translates into “example” which, along with the translation rules, is far easier to remember than the number. The 2Know software automates the translation of numbers to words/phrases using large English, French, and German phonetic dictionaries. The user simply enters the number to be translated and a list of candidate words is produced. The user then selects a word. If additional digits need to be translated, additional candidate words are presented for selection. This process is continued until the numeric string is completely translated.

	wReplace  License: Freeware
	Free program, which allows you to change/replace multiple letters and phrases at a time. It is easy to create and save lists of changes/replacements, so that you can reuse them. You can even paste replacement table from your spreadsheet (e.g. Excel/Calc).    wReplace resembles Notepad. Like Notepad, it works with plain text Unicode files.    Applications:    Character conversion - changing one set of characters into another.  Romanization (latinisation) - conversion of a text written in a non-Roman alphabet into Roman alphabet.  Transliteration - writing down a text (or a word) written in one alphabet with letters of another alphabet.  Cyrillization - conversion of a text written in a non-Cyrillic alphabet into Cyrillic alphabet.  Transcription (phonemic orthography) - writing down phonemes of a spoken language, so that you can reproduce them later. Also, you may write down phonemes of one language using letters of another.  Simple substitution cipher (ROT13, ROT47).  Morse code conversion.    wReplace is an excellent tool for national characters conversion into standard set of ASCII characters. This is useful because many programs do not correctly display non-ASCII national characters; for example, programs which display film subtitles sometimes have this problem. The change/replacement is run according to a pattern ("Diacritic to ASCII") available in the program.    wReplace is useful for language learning. It allows you to convert between different notations/writing systems, and to approximately phonetically transcribe text. Possible applications:    Japanese, text conversion both ways: Romaji - Hiragana, Romaji - Katakana, Katakana - Hiragana.  Russian; Cyrillic, conversion into Latin phonetic transcription.    wReplace can be used free of charge.
