[Corpora-List] writing aid for German (MS Word add-in)

[Lewis, Derek]

I used Duden Korrektor successfully as an add-on for MS Word some time ago. When it worked, it was excellent, but it did have problems interfacing with Word, which the downloadable fixes could not fix. I would imagine this has improved since then.

Dear Hannes,

a product that matches your description is Duden Korrektor. Recent
versions seem to have dropped the Korrektor bit from their name,
and are called “DUDEN Rechtschreibprüfung für Microsoft Office”.

If my memory serves well, Duden Korrektor was originally developed by
CLT Sprachtechnologie GmbH, a spin-off from Saarland University's
computational linguistics department.

Cheers,
Christian
