UltraGram 2.3.31
UltraGram is a free visual parser generator which provides functionality for creating grammar of a parser more>>
UltraGram uses LALR(1) parsing technique with some GLR type additions that makes if fast and error resistant. The tool offers an excellent support of the development process and helps to eliminate possible parsing problems at the early stages.
Main features:
- Detailed information about all usual problems that happen in the parser development process
- Clear and understandable graphical representation of all possible shift-reduce and reduce-reduce conflicts. The generated graph shows the starting conflict point and all transitions from it up to the final conflicting statements
- Visualization of DFA graph in its conventional form. This helps to clearly understand all transitions that happen during parsing process. Additionally DFA graph can expose information about lookahead tokens that will be quite useful for understanding parsing theory
- Detection of runtime errors that happen on conflicting tokens and are not located during grammar development stage
- Advanced error recovery mechanism that handles not only invalid sequences of tokens but also conflicting tokens and is based on the GLR type technique
- Support for generating parser code in several programming languages including C++, Java, C# and VB.NET

HybridJava compiler 0.94
A simple tool for Java developers. more>>
Major Features:
- The suggested technology continues JSP approach which only advantage is exactly the above mentioned symmetry in using Java and HTML, but goes much further.
- In this sense HybridJava is a successor and thus a modern alternative to Java Server Pages.
- However JSP is just a template engine that does not in fact care about text between just two delimiters, but Java Server Pages technology capitalizes upon real compilation and thus upon a deep knowledge of the application structure.
- In HybridJava both Java and HTML operators are incorporated into a single formal grammar. Besides Java and HTML constituents the HybridJava syntax has a simple but powerful support for code factorization and reuse - widgets are defined in HybridJava language without any additional Java programming.
- Unlike all known user-defined tags implementations HybridJava widgets may have more than one insertion points named in this case.
- Recursive usage of widgets is also supported.
- A unique feature of HybridJava widgets is their transparency for Java context when Java variables of a page are accessible in its widgets.
- Technology includes an extremely transparent framework that includes application, page and widget level data session-scope persistance.
- Compiler resolves the identifiers used in widgets and pages against Java definitions in Java blocks, definitions of widget attributes, in instances of widgets, page page instance and application-level data.
- Components may send and receive signals.
- The compiler generates Java source codes, one Java class for each page.
- Execution of this code results in generation of the outgoing HTML.
Enhancements: Component model enhanced with signals
Requirements: none
ProvaLingua (formerly Vocabulary Trainer) 5.2.3
ProvaLingua (formerly Vocabulary Trainer)functions as a language drill system which can be used for any language. more>> ProvaLingua (formerly Vocabulary Trainer) 5.2.3 functions as a language drill system which can be used for any language. Both vocabulary and grammar drills are included, as well as "learn while you work" tickers, a matching game, and a reading practice tool.
Any language may be used, but the software includes word sets for French, Italian, Latin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish, plus a set for GRE (Graduate Record Examination) study. Grammar tools are available for French, Italian, Latin, Russian and Spanish. It runs on Windows, Linux or Mac OS X.
You may want to browse the documentation before beginning, to get the most use out of your time.
Major Features:
- ProvaLingua training tools are based on the premise that you will learn words best if you study them in small, preferably related, stacks. Therefore, it's recommend that you limit the size of each stack to 25 words, perhaps dividing larger lists into parts. (There must be at least eight words in a list to use the quizzes.)
- While the software does include existing stacks, it is best to type in new words using the Add Stack or Edit Stack tools, even if you could also import the data from an existing file. This is because the act of typing the words provides you with a first exposure to the words.
- Once you have entered your desired vocabulary words into a stack, it will appear on the main listing as "Unattempted". This means you haven't begun learning it yet. If you choose to study this stack, you will enter the Learning Phase. After you have successfully learned the stack, the status will change to "Learned". If you then choose to study the stack, you will proceed to the Mastery Phase.
- Once you have mastered the stack, the status will change to "Mastered", meaning you don't need to review it. Once the stack expires, the status will change to "Expired" - this means that the stack needs to be reviewed. Studying an expired stack will start you in the Mastery phase.
- In addition to the Learning and Mastery phase for learning vocabulary words, there are a few additional tools including grammar tools, which are each detailed in the documentation sections to the right.
This is a vocabulary drill and grammar drill tool that is an excellent supplement to any course or textbook, or for individual study. This tool takes a unique approach aimed at learning 25 words

Natural Word 1.0.0
Allows users to type into Word, using their own words, what they would like. more>> Allows users to type into Word, using their own words, what they would like.
This is an add-on for Microsofts Word that allows the user to command Microsoft Word using their own words.
A pop-up, accessed via the `/~ key, allows the user to enter text commands such as create table, make the text big, or yellow. No command memorization is required because the system is designed to understand virtually anything the user types in.
Natural Word is an interface into Microsoft Word that was designed to allow users to type into Word, using their own words, what they would like.
Rather than learning and memorizing Words intricate menus and dialogs, Natural Word attempts to understand you, the user, and translates your requests into actions Word can understand.
For instance, rather than figuring which menus and toolbars change the color of text to blue, you can tell word make the text blue, or blue text, or even simply blue.
Natural Word acts as a translator between you and the computer ? its role is to understand you without forcing you to memorize command syntax or menu charts.
Tell Microsoft Word What You Want, How You Want
Natural Word is a simple interface into Microsoft Word that allows the user to type what they want in their own words! Rather than figuring out where options and commands are buried, type in blue, or create table, or make text bigger.
Easy To Use - No Command Memorization
No more complex command syntax or cryptic parameter lists to memorize - Natural Word understands what the user wants in their own words! Weve taken the time to ask users how they would tell Word what to do and created a system that understands most of what ordinary users would want. For instance, to underline text, you can type underline, make the text underlined, draw a line underneath the text, and many, many other common ways.
System requirements:
- Microsoft Word 2000, 2003
- 512 MB RAM
- .NET Framework 2.0 and dotnetfx if required.
Version restrictions:
- Only existing Word functionality is available. If Word couldnt do it before, it wont be able to do it now
- Word bugs and annoyances are still there. If it cant seem to align your text correctly, or keeps moving something over when you dont want it to, it, unfortunately, will continue to do so.
- Only about 80% of Words functionality has been implemented. The Options panels and some less popular commands have not been implemented yet.
- When trying to search and/or replace text, make sure to enclose the text in double quotation marks. (e.g. find "someText", find all occurrences of "someText" and replace by "newText". The text in quotation marks uses C-Style escape codes (n, t, etc.))
- Only a handful of the most popular font styles are defined within the grammar. Non-standard fonts are not supported yet.
Enhancements:
- Alias/User commands added
- Small grammar fixes
- Some bug fixes
