CoukieGrammar check technology from Microsoft

Many of us are using the grammar tool of word to check our documents. The tool is helpful but has too many limitations, one of these limitations is that verb tenses in foreign languages are not well reviewed……Well Microsoft has developed a new technology that would allow a user to input an infinitive or non-infinitive form of a verb. When a user inputs a non-infinitive form of the verb, the software would identify the corresponding base form of the verb. It then would use that base to display the forms for the verb.
Microsoft filed an application on August 31 to the US Patent and Trademark Office, looking forward to patent a “Verb conjugation system”. Clearly this new development will be very helpful for all those persons that depend on the grammar check tool when writing in a foreign language. The new technology has the potential to become a product on its own or be integrated to the office suit as an additional tool.
The inventors are Eric J. Voetberg, Jinsong Yu, Mark D. Stumpf and Robert E. Parkin, employees of Microsoft.
