Introduction to Programming With the Language Analysis Manager

The Language Analysis Manager provides the operating system with a common infrastructure which forms the basis of language processing. The Language Analysis Manager analyzes text and into morphemes and lexical information, such as parts of speech, which your application can use to perform such high-level tasks as providing a natural user interface and performing advanced language processing.

The Language Analysis Manager is particularly useful for languages that are difficult to process on computers, such as Japanese. For example, the Japanese language lacks delimiters between words, and reading and notation are separate (kanji). As a result, text operations such as sorting strings, comparing strings, and recognizing words are often not performed to the satisfaction of users. In any language, input by voice or through the use of a stylus and tablet presents problems similar to that of analyzing Japanese.
