The Microsoft Research ESL Assistant Prototype is Live | |
|
||
| Time: 06:01 EST/11:01 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

The Natural Language Processing Group in Microsoft Research is pleased to announce that its ESL Assistant is now available on the World Wide Web via a link at http://www.eslassistant.com. A prototype writing assistance service designed for people who have learned English as a second or foreign language, the ESL Assistant uses statistical models to suggest corrections for a number of common learner error patterns that are not currently supported by the proofing tools in Microsoft Office products. The service also tries to help users judge the whether a suggestion truly represents an improvement by showing real-life examples returned by a web search. We hope that both learners of English and TEFL/TESL professionals will experiment with this service and find it useful. | ||

| Wow! This is really cool stuff. While early in its development, this kind of tool has a tremendous amount of potential. "Talk about smart people!" These guys are some really "Big Heads" |

Interesting but it seems to work with American-English only; "behaviour" is reported as mispelled and "how do you do?" as fragmented.
Lot of potential though. |
